Question

Over the past few days, my work performance has been poor, and my supervisor has accused me of being unwell. In reality, I have been experiencing insomnia every night and occasional palpitations, which I worry might affect my health and work. What should I do if my parotitis condition worsens?

Answer

Hello, parotitis is a symptom caused by viral infection. I suggest you take antiviral drugs and banlangen (Isatis root) for treatment, drink plenty of water, and you should recover in about 7 days. For the causes of pediatric respiratory system diseases, if a child is diagnosed with a pediatric respiratory system disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor to actively treat the condition, reduce gastrointestinal pressure, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also pay attention to avoid children’s picky eating and ensure a balanced diet.
