During the onset of mumps, patients need to drink more water, get a moderate amount of outdoor sunshine, and keep their rooms ventilated and airy at regular intervals. The patient’s diet should be arranged scientifically and reasonably, with more nutritious, easy-to-digest semi-liquid or soft food. You can eat foods that promote salivary secretion after the symptoms improve significantly to promote the recovery of parotid gland function. In addition, you should rinse your mouth with warm salt water every day and brush your teeth carefully to maintain oral hygiene and prevent secondary bacterial infections.
