Answer 2

For children, no specific treatment is necessary. Mild painkillers like paracetamol can be used with warm or cool towels etc applied to the swollen area as the child prefers.

For male teenagers and adults mumps can be more serious and professional medical treatment should be sought. Avoid fruit juices and acidic food.

Answer 3

Mumps is a contagious viral infection. If you have it, then there is no medicine to cure it (except your body's own immune system). However there is a vaccination (an injection) against mumps (which pre trains your body's immune system and therefore reduces the risk of becoming ill with mumps) available as part of the MMR Vaccine.

Answer 4

Antibiotics cannot help because a virus causes mumps. ibuprofen or Tylenol can help to control some of the symptoms caused by mumps. A warm moist towel for the swelling. Rest and plenty of fluids are needed to help fight the virus.

Answer 5

All things being equal and with no complications.........bed rest,reduce personal contact and take some pain/anti-inflammatory medicine......avoid aspirin if a child. The virus will run it's course.
