What is the best way to treat acute mumps

I believe everyone is familiar with mumps, and some friends may still remember the pain caused by this disease. There are many ways to treat acute mumps. The treatment method should be selected according to the patient's condition, and isolation and attention to oral hygiene should be paid.

1. Target the cause of the disease. Correct dehydration and electrolyte imbalance and maintain fluid balance. If necessary, compound amino acids can be injected to enhance the body's resistance.

2. Choose effective antibiotics. Use large doses of penicillin or appropriate amounts of cephalosporin and other antibiotics against Gram-positive cocci, and collect purulent secretions from the parotid duct for bacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing, and select the most sensitive antibiotic.

3. Other conservative treatments. In the early stages of inflammation, you can use hot compresses, physical therapy, external application of Ruyi Jinhuang Powder, drink acidic beverages, or hold vitamin C tablets in your mouth, or take 3-5 drops (2-3 mg) of 1% pilocarpine orally, 2-3 times a day, to increase saliva secretion. Antiseptic mouthwashes such as warm boric acid or sodium bicarbonate solution can also help control inflammation.

4. Incision and drainage. When it develops into a flower farmer, it must be cut and drained. Its characteristics are: obvious local pitting edema, local throbbing pain and localized tenderness points, hesitation in puncture and pus; pus discharge from the parotid duct orifice, and obvious symptoms of systemic infection and poisoning.

5. Method of incision and drainage: local invasive anesthesia. An incision is made in front of the ear and at the posterior edge of the mandibular ramus from the tragus down to the mandibular angle. The skin, subcutaneous tissue and parotid-masseter fascial fluid accumulated under the fascia can be drained. If there is no pus overflow, a curved vascular forceps can be inserted into the abscess cavity of the parotid gland to drain the pus. Because there are often multiple abscesses, attention should be paid to separating them in different directions to separate the abscess cavities of each glandular lobule. After flushing, install a rubber drainage strip, flush with saline every day and replace the drainage strip.
