What measures can be taken to prevent acute mumps

What measures can be taken to prevent acute mumps?

1. Immunity after illness is long-lasting; existing variant viruses may cause a second illness.

Isolate the patient early until the parotid swelling completely subsides. Do not have close contact with the patient. Pay attention to indoor ventilation and maintain air circulation. 0.2y peracetic acid can be used for household disinfection.

2. Do not participate in large-scale group activities during the epidemic. Vaccinate against measles, rubella and mumps. Strengthen the promotion of health knowledge, educate children to develop good personal hygiene habits, exercise more, and strengthen their physical fitness. However, the live attenuated mumps vaccine cannot be used for pregnant women, people with congenital or acquired low immunity, and those who are allergic to egg white.

3. For drug prevention, decoct 30 grams of Isatis root or 9 grams of honeysuckle, 1 dose per day for 6 consecutive days.

4 injections can be used to prevent mumps in children as young as one and a half years old. Mumps is a viral infection, and most children recover naturally after one week to 10 days. When sick, you should get enough rest, drink water and easily digestible nutrients, and avoid eating acidic foods to avoid causing local pain in the parotid gland.

5. Closely monitor body temperature and complications.

6 Contacts are usually not quarantined, but should be examined in collective children's institutions including hospitals, schools, and military units for 3 weeks, and suspected patients should be immediately and temporarily isolated.
