Product Description
Mumps Treatments by Dr. Praveen M.P.
Mumps is a contagious viral infection primarily affecting the salivary glands, especially the parotid glands located near the jaw and ears. Dr. Praveen M.P., a renowned expert, emphasizes that while there is no specific antiviral treatment for mumps, the focus is on managing symptoms, preventing complications, and promoting recovery.

Key Aspects of Mumps Management:
Symptom Management
The hallmark symptoms of mumps include fever, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, and swelling of the salivary glands. Dr. Praveen recommends over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen to alleviate discomfort and reduce fever. Adequate rest is crucial for recovery.

Hydration and Nutrition
Staying hydrated is vital during mumps. Dr. Praveen suggests consuming plenty of fluids like water, clear broths, and electrolyte solutions to prevent dehydration caused by fever and reduced appetite. A soft, bland diet helps minimize discomfort while chewing, as the swollen salivary glands may make eating painful.

Warm or Cold Compresses
To relieve pain and swelling in the jaw area, alternating warm and cold compresses can be effective. Dr. Praveen advises applying these compresses gently for a few minutes at a time.

Isolation and Prevention
As mumps is highly contagious, Dr. Praveen stresses the importance of isolation during the infectious period, typically about five days after gland swelling begins. Vaccination remains the most effective prevention method, particularly the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine.

Monitoring for Complications
Mumps can occasionally lead to complications like meningitis, orchitis, or oophoritis. Dr. Praveen advises seeking immediate medical attention if severe headache, stiff neck, abdominal pain, or testicular swelling occurs.

Conclusion
Dr. Praveen M.P. advocates a holistic approach to mumps management, prioritizing symptom relief, patient comfort, and prevention of complications. By following these guidelines, most individuals recover fully within two weeks. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized care.
