What are the symptoms of mumps?

Mumps is generally caused by a viral infection and is a respiratory infectious disease. Symptoms may include local swelling, facial muscle pain, fever, etc. Patients are advised to actively cooperate with doctors in treatment.

1. Local swelling: In the early stage of the disease, one side of the parotid gland is stimulated by inflammation and usually swells. As the disease progresses, the other side may spread and swell, and may be accompanied by symptoms such as local burning sensation.

2. Facial muscle soreness: This disease has an incubation period of 18 days on average. In addition to local swelling, most patients may experience local pain if the face is stimulated by inflammation for a long time.

3. Fever: If not treated promptly and effectively, the virus will multiply in large numbers and stimulate the immune system, which may affect the temperature regulation center and cause fever.

There may also be symptoms of discomfort such as chills and difficulty swallowing. It is recommended that patients go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations in time, and use drugs such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules and celecoxib capsules for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. They can also take drugs such as acyclovir tablets and acyclovir tablets, which can play an antiviral role. During this period, pay attention to a reasonable diet, eat foods rich in vitamins and proteins, and go to the hospital for regular checkups.
