Question
Doctor, my son is 10 years old and has contracted mumps these past two days. The doctor has prescribed the use of banlangen and anti-inflammatory medication. Are there any better methods to speed up recovery and prevent it from disrupting his studies? Thank you.
Answer
Mumps is an acute infectious disease caused by the mumps virus, commonly known as “mumps.” It can occur throughout the year and is primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets from coughing and sneezing. In addition to taking banlangen and anti-inflammatory medication, adequate rest, maintaining good hygiene habits, and staying hydrated can aid in treatment. It is also recommended to avoid contact with other children to prevent transmission to others.
