Patient's question:
After sleeping, I woke up swollen overnight. Just now I just noticed.Doctor's answer:
Acute purulent parotitis is primarily treated with medication in the early stage, including antibiotics, traditional Chinese medicine such as Jingfang Baedu San and Wushi Xiaodu Yin; at the same time, methods to stimulate secretion are used to maintain smooth saliva production. If the course of the disease exceeds one week and enters the purulent stage, incision and drainage surgery should be performed. Viral parotitis has no specific treatment, but the aforementioned traditional Chinese medicine can be used. If there is a secondary bacterial infection, antibiotics can be administered.
