How to treat mumps correctly

There are more and more mumps patients now. Most of them have a slow onset, and a few are acute. The symptoms during labor are generally abdominal pain, diarrhea, abdominal distension, fatigue, insomnia, etc. Many patients think it is a minor problem and do not care about it, but it should not be underestimated. Many serious illnesses are caused because of insufficient attention. Now I will introduce to you how to treat mumps correctly.

1. Supplement fluids and electrolytes appropriately, supplement vitamin B and calcium. Take iron preparations and folic acid to treat anemia. Patients with severe illness, frequent diarrhea, and severe malnutrition can be given a period of gastrointestinal elemental diet or parenteral nutrition.

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, relieve the course of the disease, reduce the number of defecation, relieve recurrent symptoms and increase appetite. However, some patients do not respond well and may cause ulcer perforation, bleeding and slow healing. It is now believed that the scope of application is small. For patients with acute outbreaks or severe early attacks, symptoms can be significantly relieved and the condition improved; the effect is not satisfactory for long-term recurrent attacks; corticotropin units are dissolved in glucose solution and intravenously dripped. After the symptoms improve, intramuscular injection is used instead. Hydrocortisone is injected intravenously, and the dosage is gradually reduced after the symptoms are relieved. Corticosteroids are more effective than cortisone in relieving symptoms, but they are not as effective as cortisone in maintaining relief. This treatment should not be continued for more than 2 weeks if there is no improvement in symptoms.

4. Immunosuppressive drugs: Azathioprine, once a day, can change the course of the disease and suppress clinical manifestations, but cannot change the underlying disease. 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.

6. Retention enema: commonly used for rectal and mumps, can relieve symptoms and promote ulcer healing.
