With effective treatment, mumps usually improves gradually in 4-5 days and reaches basic healing in 1-2 weeks. There are two types of mumps, one is viral mumps and the other is bacterial mumps. The symptoms of bacterial mumps are fever, localized redness, swelling, heat and pain in the parotid gland, and in severe cases, pus may flow from the parotid ducts when squeezed. The common viral mumps is an acute respiratory infection caused by the mumps virus, also known as mumps, and has a rapid onset, with an incubation period of 8-30 days after infection, averaging 18 days. Most patients do not have significant prodromal symptoms, but a few may have muscle aches, headaches, and chills. The symptoms include sore throat, fever, loss of appetite, fear of cold, headache, and general malaise, accompanied by swelling of one parotid gland. Patients with mumps need bed rest and isolation until the swelling of the parotid gland subsides. It is advisable to eat a soft, easily digestible diet and avoid stimulating foods such as spicy and sour foods, which can stimulate salivary gland secretion and lead to increased local pain.
