Rest: Adequate rest is crucial to help the body fight off the virus and recover.
Hydration: Drinking plenty of fluids, such as water, herbal teas, and electrolyte solutions, helps prevent dehydration and supports the immune system.
Cold Compress: Applying a cold compress to swollen glands can help reduce pain and inflammation.
Soft Diet: Consuming soft, easy-to-swallow foods such as soups, smoothies, and mashed vegetables can ease discomfort while chewing.
Pain Relief: Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen can help manage fever and alleviate pain.
Diagnosis of Mumps:
Dr. Shashank explains the methods used to diagnose mumps:
Clinical Examination: A healthcare professional will assess symptoms such as swollen salivary glands, fever, and headache.
Laboratory Tests: A blood test or a saliva sample may be taken to confirm the presence of the mumps virus or antibodies against it.
Imaging: In some cases, imaging tests like ultrasound may be performed to evaluate complications such as orchitis or oophoritis.
Throughout the discussion, emphasis is placed on the importance of seeking medical advice and following healthcare provider recommendations for proper diagnosis, treatment, and management of mumps and its complications. Additionally, Vidushi encourages viewers to stay informed about vaccination recommendations and to prioritize preventive measures to reduce the risk of mumps infection.
