Treatment of mumps in children

Mumps is not only a disease that adults are prone to, but children are also prone to this disease. When a child is suffering from mumps, it is necessary to choose the correct treatment method, which will be of great help to the patient's condition control. So what are the treatments for mumps in children? The most common one is medication. This treatment method is simple and relatively conservative. It does not cause any harm to the child's body and is conducive to the improvement of the disease.

Treatment of mumps in children:

There is no specific treatment for mumps in children, and symptomatic treatment is the main approach.

The child should rest in bed and receive symptomatic treatment until the gland swelling disappears completely. To reduce high fever and acid irritation to the oral cavity, enteric-coated aspirin or acetaminophen can be used. You can use compound boric acid solution to gargle, but sulfonamides and antibiotics are ineffective. Traditional Chinese medicine is a commonly used medicine. Puji Xiaodu Yin can be used for internal use, and Isatis root can be used as a single medicinal ingredient. Whether the topical application of Zijin Ding or Ruyi Jinhuang Powder, mixed with vinegar and then applied externally is really effective needs to be confirmed by strict control observation of a certain number of cases. There are different opinions on whether interferon can accelerate the reduction of swelling and shorten the course of treatment in clinical treatment. Local heat and infrared lamp therapy can also be used.

When complicated with orchitis, you can use cotton and a T-band to lift the testicles and apply local cold compresses to relieve pain. In severe cases, hydrocortisone can be used for a short period of time.

When pancreatitis occurs, fasting, intravenous fluids and antibiotics should be given. Patients with meningoencephalitis are mainly treated symptomatically, and dehydration therapy can be used for those with increased intracranial pressure.

The above is a detailed introduction to the treatment methods of mumps in children. These practices can greatly improve the child's condition. However, when treating mumps, parents also need to follow the doctor's advice, which will be of great help to the treatment of the child's disease. In addition, if the child has any abnormal physical symptoms, they need to inform the doctor in time.
