Question
What medications should be used for children with parotitis?
Answer
Parotitis is caused by a viral infection. You can take antipyretics, such as paracetamol, when you have a fever and drink plenty of water. For treatment, antiviral medications can be used against the virus. It is recommended to buy and drink tea made from herbs like houttuynia cordata or choose andrographis. This condition usually takes a few days to recover.
