Is cephalosporin effective for mumps?

1. Taking cephalosporins may not be effective for mumps. If it is bacterial mumps, taking cephalosporins is effective, but if it is epidemic mumps, taking cephalosporins is useless.

2. Mumps usually includes bacterial mumps and epidemic mumps. If it is bacterial mumps, such as suppurative mumps or chronic obstructive mumps, cephalosporin can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor, which can play an anti-inflammatory role and have a certain effect on alleviating the disease, because cephalosporin is an antibiotic drug. If it is epidemic mumps, it is mainly caused by viral infection, and the use of cephalosporin for treatment is generally useless. It is necessary to cooperate with the doctor's guidance to use antiviral drugs for treatment. Commonly used drugs include acyclovir dispersible tablets, ganciclovir tablets, etc.

3. When suffering from mumps, avoid blindly taking medicine at home to avoid adverse reactions caused by improper use of medicine. Also adjust your eating habits and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods to avoid aggravating the condition. In daily life, we should drink more warm water and eat more fruits or vegetables containing vitamins, such as spinach, celery, apples, bananas, etc., to accelerate the excretion of metabolites in the body.
