Patient's question:
The boy is three years and nine months old. Since last May, he has been experiencing mumps attacks, usually at night, with large swollen lumps under his ears, causing intense pain. By July of this year, he had more than ten episodes. He visited the children's hospital, where he was treated with intravenous fluids, but the doctors did not provide a good treatment plan. He also consulted a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and took herbal medicine.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to take oral antiviral granules and Yin Chai granules, while also adding antibiotics to prevent lung infections. Muscle injections of Chai herb should be administered twice a day, continuously, as they can reduce fever and have a significant therapeutic effect on mumps itself. If there are complications, timely treatment is necessary. Avoid spicy foods, especially acidic foods. It is advisable to eat lighter.
