The main symptoms of suppurative parotitis are parotid swelling and systemic symptoms, which can be treated with medications such as penicillin and cephalosporin.
1. Usually the main symptom of suppurative parotitis is a swollen parotid gland with unclear borders that can progress from the earlobe to the surrounding area. At the same time, systemic symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle aches and pains may also occur.
2. Patients with generalized suppurative parotitis can be treated with antibiotics such as broad-spectrum, anti-Gram-positive cocci, or penicillin and cephalosporin. While viral diseases are mostly self-limiting, the treatment is mainly symptomatic, supplemented by antiviral therapy, which can be used under the guidance of the doctor, such as acyclovir and other drugs. When the patient has a high fever, antipyretic drugs such as ibuprofen can also be used.
If the patient develops suppurative parotitis, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and use medication under the guidance of a professional doctor, and not to use medication privately, so as to avoid adverse effects.
