Mumps is the worst day

Mumps is usually most severe on the third day, so you should also pay attention to self-isolation during the illness and pay attention to oral hygiene.

Mumps is a respiratory infectious disease caused by mumps virus infection, also known as parotitis, mumps, etc. The disease is contagious and can be transmitted through the respiratory tract, contact transmission or vertical transmission. There are no obvious discomfort symptoms in the early stage after mumps virus infection. When the virus grows and reproduces to a certain extent, it will break out. Generally speaking, on the third day of mumps, the parotid gland will swell under the stimulation of inflammation, and it will affect the area around the earlobe, causing obvious swelling, pain, burning and other symptoms in the local area, and fever will also occur. At this time, it has reached its peak, so the third day is the most serious, and it will gradually subside after 4 to 5 days.

Mumps can be treated with oseltamivir phosphate capsules, four-season antiviral mixture and other antiviral drugs under the guidance of a doctor. These drugs have a good inhibitory and killing effect on the mumps virus, and can achieve better therapeutic effects after taking them. When you have a fever, you can reduce the temperature by physical means, eat some liquid or semi-liquid food appropriately in your life, and avoid eating acidic foods.
