2. Anti-infective drugs: Salicylic acid sulfazopyridine has a good effect on treating parotitis of various parts and preventing complications. Some cause nausea, vomiting, headache, rash, granulocytopenia, anemia and poor liver function. If it is ineffective or has adverse reactions, metronidazole can be used instead. Neomycin and phthalosulfathiazole are also effective.

3. Hormone therapy: Adrenal cortical hormones, hydrocortisone and prednisone can improve the general condition, alleviate the course of the disease, reduce the number of bowel movements, alleviate recurrent symptoms and increase appetite.

It is often used in the quiescent period to reduce recurrences, but it may also cause poisoning, so be careful. 6-Mercaptopurine (6-MP) combined with hormones can alleviate symptoms.

5. Antidiarrheal drugs: can reduce the frequency of defecation and relieve abdominal pain. Compound phenoxylate, codeine and compound camphor tincture are commonly used. Antidiarrheal drugs may cause toxic megacolon in acute ulcerative parotitis and should be used with caution. Sedatives and antispasmodics can also be given.
