How to treat recurrent mumps in children?

A while ago, a friend of mine said that his child often suffered from recurrent mumps. I believe that many mothers will encounter this phenomenon in life, but most people don’t know what to do when encountering this phenomenon. This can be quite tricky, and if you don’t know what to do, it may delay your child’s treatment time, which is not good for the child. So before that, you must first have an understanding of this knowledge.

Mumps, also known as mumps or mumps, is a common respiratory infectious disease among children and adolescents, caused by the mumps virus. The prominent symptom is non-purulent swelling and pain of the parotid gland. The virus can invade various glandular tissues or the nervous system and almost all organs such as the liver, kidneys, heart, and joints. Therefore, it can often cause symptoms such as meningoencephalitis, orchitis, pancreatitis, mastitis, and oophoritis.

Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine: internal and external treatment. For internal use, the Puji Xiaodu Yin prescription is the main one, with modifications based on symptoms. For local external application, you can use Zijin Ding or Qingdai Powder with vinegar and apply it externally several times a day. You can also grind 30g of Jinhuang Powder and Hibiscus Leaf into powder, soak 9g of chrysanthemum juice and add appropriate amount of honey to mix, apply it externally twice a day.

Or you can mash dandelion, communis, daffodil root, purslane, etc. and apply them externally to relieve local swelling and pain.

General antibiotics and sulfa drugs are ineffective. The efficacy of antiviral drugs is uncertain. Interferon seems to have a certain effect, but it does not shorten the course of the disease. Ribavirin and other drugs may have anti-mumps virus effects and can be tried for critically ill patients.

There is no definite effect of adrenal cortical hormone treatment, but short-term use can be considered for severe cases or complications such as meningoencephalitis, myocarditis or orchitis.

Local irradiation of helium-neon laser in the treatment of mumps has a certain effect on relieving pain and swelling.

High fever, headache, vomiting, etc. can be treated symptomatically, including dehydrating agents. Complications are treated according to the condition.

I believe that now you have a certain knowledge about the repeated recurrence of mumps in children, so you can adjust it in time when you encounter problems in the future. After the adjustment, the child will no longer have this disease and will be able to grow up healthily. I believe you will be happier, so you must pay more attention to your child's health.
