Patient's question:
At 3 a.m., a swollen and painful sensation appeared below the earlobe, accompanied by fever.Doctor's answer:
Mumps primarily manifests as swelling in one or both submandibular glands, with the swollen parotid glands often appearing hemispherical. In the early stages of mumps, treatment focuses on medication, and active anti-inflammatory treatment with cephalosporins, penicillin-class drugs, and quinolone drugs can be applied. If the condition becomes purulent, surgical incision and drainage should be performed. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy foods.Children's ear, nose, and throat diseases pose significant harm to patients. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment at a specialized clinic under the guidance of a doctor. Appropriate exercise is permissible in daily life, but attention should be paid to preventing "internal heat" (excess heat in the body). We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
