What are the symptoms of mumps? What medicine can cure mumps quickly?

Mumps can be divided into two types: bacterial and infectious. Bacterial mumps is caused by bacterial infection, mainly staphylococci. Infectious mumps, also known as epidemic mumps, is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by the mumps virus, commonly known as "mumps" and "mumps", which is more common in children and adolescents. It also occurs in adults and is prone to winter and spring. Mumps is prone to outbreaks in places where children gather, such as kindergartens and schools, which seriously endangers the health of children. Mumps patients are the source of infection of this disease, and droplets are the main route of transmission. Generally, the disease occurs 2-3 weeks after contact with patients. Infectious mumps is characterized by non-suppurative 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.

1. Purulent parotitis often affects one side, and it is rare for bilateral parotitis to occur simultaneously. In the early stage of inflammation, the symptoms are mild or not obvious, with mild pain, swelling, and tenderness in the parotid area. The duct opening is slightly red, swollen, and painful. As the disease progresses, fever, chills, and unilateral parotid pain and swelling may occur. The parotid gland and the surface skin are locally red, swollen, hot, and painful. When the lesion enters the suppurative stage, pus can be seen flowing out of the duct opening when the parotid gland is squeezed. 2. Mumps The most common viral mumps is mumps. Mumps is an infectious disease. The source of infection is the patient and the latently infected person. The route of transmission is respiratory droplets and close contact. The clinical onset is acute, and there are often prodromal symptoms such as fever, headache, and poor appetite. After a few hours to 1-2 days, the body temperature may rise to above 39°C, and the salivary glands will swell. The parotid glands are most often affected. The swelling is generally centered on the earlobe, developing forward, backward, and downward, with unclear edges and mild tenderness. The pain is aggravated when chewing or eating acidic foods. The local skin is hot, tense, and shiny, but not red. Usually, the contralateral side is affected 2-4 days after the swelling of one parotid gland. The submandibular gland or sublingual gland may also be affected. When the sublingual gland is swollen, the tongue and neck may swell, and dysphagia may occur. The parotid duct opening may be red and swollen in the early stage, which is helpful for diagnosis. Atypical cases may not have parotid swelling at all, but may present with symptoms of simple orchitis or meningoencephalitis. There are also cases where only the submandibular gland or sublingual gland is swollen. 3. Autoimmune parotitis is more common in chronic autoimmune diseases, such as Sjögren's syndrome, IgG4-related diseases, etc. In addition to recurrent parotid swelling, other glands, joints, and organs are also involved and damaged.

1. Infectious acute bacterial parotitis (suppurative parotitis): It is caused by bacterial infection, mainly Staphylococcus aureus, followed by streptococcus. Common causes are those with decreased parotid secretion function (such as those with reduced body resistance and oral biological immunity, those who fast after surgery, etc.), blockage of the parotid duct opening, parotid lymphadenitis, and inflammation of adjacent tissues. Viral parotitis: Common parotitis virus, herpes simplex virus, coxsackie virus, influenza A virus, etc. can also be seen. Mumps virus infection is the most common cause of epidemic parotitis. 2. Immune such as Sjögren's syndrome, Mikulic disease, etc. can cause chronic autoimmune parotitis. 3. Blockage of the main parotid duct and branches, followed by bacterial infection, is common in salivary gland stones, mucus plugs and less common tumors, and is mostly benign tumors. 4. Chronic nonspecific parotitis of unknown cause, recurrent childhood parotitis, degenerative sialorrhea, etc., are rarely caused by certain drugs.

Daily prevention 1. Vaccination Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent mumps. Children should complete vaccination on time, one shot at 1.5 years old and one shot at 6 years old. Children under 15 years old can be vaccinated. Currently, there are measles, mumps and rubella vaccines. 2. Avoid crowded places During the epidemic of respiratory diseases, try to avoid crowded public places; when going out, you should wear a mask, especially on the bus. 3. Early diagnosis and treatment Once a child is found to have suspected mumps, fever or upper respiratory tract symptoms, he should go to the hospital in time for early diagnosis and treatment. 4. Good hygiene habits Develop good personal hygiene habits and do "four diligences and one more": wash hands frequently, ventilate frequently, dry clothes and quilts frequently, exercise frequently, and drink more water. Targeted prevention 1. Purulent mumps Keeping the mouth clean and hygienic is an important part of preventing its onset. Some patients with weak constitution, long-term bed rest, high fever or fasting often suffer from dehydration. They should strengthen oral care (such as brushing teeth carefully, gargling with chlorhexidine solution frequently, etc.), maintain body fluid balance, and strengthen nutrition and anti-infection treatment. 2. Mumps (1) Manage the source of infection and isolate patients early until the swelling of the parotid gland completely subsides. Contacts generally do not need to be quarantined, but they should be kept in collective children's institutions, troops, etc. for 3 weeks, and suspicious persons should be immediately temporarily isolated. (2) Cut off the transmission route and ventilate and dry quilts frequently. (3) Protect susceptible populations Passive immunity: mumps high-priced immunoglobulin has a certain effect, but it is difficult to obtain and is not easy to promote. The preventive effect of general globulin on this disease is questionable. Active immunity: At present, the immunity of measles, mumps and rubella triple vaccine is relatively good and is included in the national immunization program. The first vaccination targets are 8 months old and 18 to 24 months old, one dose each, subcutaneous or intramuscular injection.

1. Purulent parotitis (1) Treat the cause and correct the balance of water, electrolytes and acid-base. (2) Select effective antibacterial drugs, empirically apply large doses of penicillin or first- and second-generation cephalosporins and other antibiotics against Gram-positive cocci, and collect pus from the parotid duct for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity, and adjust the sensitive antibiotics according to drug sensitivity. (3) Other conservative treatments: hot compresses, physical therapy, and external compresses can be used in the early stages of inflammation. Sodium bicarbonate solution, Kou Tai and other mouthwashes can help control inflammation. (4) When conservative medical treatment is ineffective and suppuration develops, incision and drainage are required. 2. Epidemic parotitis (1) Isolate and rest in bed until the parotid swelling completely subsides. Pay attention to oral hygiene, avoid acidic foods, and ensure fluid intake. (2) Symptomatic treatment is the main treatment, and antibiotics are ineffective. Ribavirin can be tried. There are reports that interferon seems to be effective. (3) Adrenal cortical hormone treatment has no definite effect. It can be considered for short-term use in severe cases or complicated by meningoencephalitis, myocarditis, etc. (4) Helium-neon laser local irradiation treatment of mumps has a certain effect on pain relief and swelling. (5) Male adult patients should use diethylstilbestrol in the early stage of the disease to prevent orchitis. (6) Traditional Chinese medicine: For internal use, the Puji Xiaodu Yin prescription is mainly used, and it can be modified according to symptoms. For local treatment, Zijin Ding or Qingdai powder mixed with vinegar can be applied externally once a day.

1. The diet should be light, and liquid food that can be chewed and swallowed. Such as rice soup, lotus root powder, orange juice, fresh fruit juice, vegetable juice, watermelon juice, pear juice, sugarcane juice, carrot juice, milk, frangipani soup, soy milk, etc. In this case, most fruits are edible. Mumps patients are most suitable to eat cool fruits and some mild neutral fruits such as cantaloupe, watermelon, pear, banana, apple (neutral), grapefruit, etc. If it is not convenient, squeeze juice to drink, and do not eat hot fruits such as jujube, hawthorn, cherry, pomegranate, lychee, durian, papaya, orange, etc. 2. Change to semi-liquid and soft food as soon as the condition improves. But it must be thin, soft, rotten and easy to chew and swallow. 3. You can eat more toona sinensis (tender buds and leaves), purslane, coriander, mung bean, red bean, loofah, etc., which can be squeezed and taken or applied externally.

You can boil mung bean soup once a day, or mix mung bean flour and rice vinegar into a paste and apply it to the affected area once a day. Luffa. Luffa has the effects of clearing heat and cooling blood, detoxifying and detumescence, and is very effective for mumps, especially mumps in children. You can wash it and mix it with a small amount of salt and vinegar to eat cold dishes twice a week. You can also grind the loofah into powder after burning it, mix it with egg white and apply it to the affected area once a day. Adzuki beans have the function of clearing away heat, detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving pain, especially the effect of reducing swelling is very strong. The effect of adzuki beans applied externally is better. Grind it into fine powder, add warm water, egg white or honey, mix it into a paste, and apply it to the swollen area. Once a day.

1. Avoid spicy and heavy foods. Curry, chili, hot sauce, chili oil, fennel, mustard, five-spice powder, cinnamon, ginger, thick soup and other spicy and heavy foods are very irritating to the mouth, which can aggravate the swelling of the parotid gland and mouth, make saliva secretion difficult, and then aggravate the condition. In addition, this kind of food is spicy and hot, which can increase body temperature. 2. Avoid hair-raising foods such as crucian carp, black fish, river eel, yellow croaker, hairtail, shrimp, crab, mutton, dog meat, rooster, coriander, etc. are all hair-raising foods. Eating them will aggravate the swelling and pain of the parotid gland, increase body temperature, and prolong the course of the disease for patients with mumps. 3. Avoid cold drinks. Children with high fever should not drink frozen products to avoid indigestion. The disease is difficult to chew, the food cannot be crushed well, and the poor saliva secretion makes it difficult to digest food. Therefore, it is very important to ensure the transportation of the digestive tract and avoid cold drinks. 4. Avoid hard objects. Hard objects must be chewed vigorously. Mumps patients have enlarged parotid glands and subcervical lymph nodes, which will cause pain when chewing, which is not conducive to the recovery of parotitis. Therefore, hard objects should not be eaten. Such foods include peanuts, watermelon seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, apples, pineapples, small walnuts, Iraqi candied dates, steamed corn bread in the Northeast, sorghum cakes, compressed biscuits, corn rice, sorghum rice, jellyfish skin, jellyfish heads, various uncooked meats, and fried and roasted products. 5. Avoid long-fiber vegetables such as celery, bamboo shoots, hairy bamboo shoots, winter bamboo shoots, leeks, garlic sprouts, bean sprouts, spinach, cucumbers, water spinach, etc., which need to be chewed vigorously before swallowing. Mumps patients must avoid eating when their cheeks are swollen. They should be boiled and eaten after the swelling subsides. 6. Avoid exciting things. Wine, coffee, and strong tea are all exciting things. People with elevated body temperature should not take them, otherwise they will cause restlessness, making it difficult for children to fall asleep quietly, causing fluctuations in the condition. Theophylline in tea can also raise body temperature and reduce the pharmacological effect of antipyretics. 7. Avoid overly sweet, salty and acidic foods. Children with this disease must have a light diet. Overly sweet and salty foods will stimulate the parotid glands and cause saliva excretion disorders, making the condition worse. Acidic foods such as vinegar, sweet and sour cooking, and sour plum soup will increase saliva and increase the burden on the parotid glands.
