Mumps-induced orchitis with high fever that doesn't break, what should I do?

Patient's question:

For the past 24 hours, I've taken Motrin (ibuprofen) five times in a row! Can I still take it? I'm seeing a traditional Chinese medicine doctor for my child and have also taken some antiviral and heat-clearing, detoxifying medications.

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you clarify things. Based on your description, I recommend seeking formal medical treatment at a hospital. I feel that you might be delaying the child's treatment, and I hope my explanation is helpful to you. Wishing the child a speedy recovery. Orchitis tends to be recurrent, requiring long-term oral medication. For male patients, it's important to promptly seek diagnosis at a professional and reputable hospital, and treatment should be considered based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it's important to restrict sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, wishing all patients a speedy recovery.
