Reye’s Syndrome – Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

Possible Complications

Thanks to advancements in diagnostic techniques and treatments for Reye’s syndrome, most children with this condition tend to survive and recover. Nevertheless, the disease would leave permanent damage to the brain, which is caused by the swelling of the brain. In the long run, other possible complications include trouble swallowing, issues with posture and movement, language and speech difficulties, some loss of hearing or vision, poor memory and attention span, as well as issues with daily tasks like using the toilet or dressing. If your kids develop any long-term issues, then a special care plan should be made to deal with their needs.[3]
