Patient's question:

Hello, for mumps, pay attention to a soft and easily digestible diet, avoiding spicy or irritating foods like sour and spicy dishes. These foods can easily stimulate salivary gland secretion, leading to increased local pain. Drink plenty of warm water to maintain oral hygiene, and you can also use boracic acid solution for gargling. The swollen area can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine applied externally. Take 15 grams of indigo powder or 15 grams of the Chinese patent medicine Ruyijinhuang powder, mix it with water to form a paste. After applying it externally, it can reduce local pain and help with swelling. At the same time, you can also take Banlangen granules.
