Mumps, commonly known as "mushroom" and "rogue", is more common in children and adolescents aged 5 to 15 years. It occurs in the spring and is easily found in places where children, such as schools, nurseries, and kindergartens are concentrated, once in China. A pandemic in several places has become one of the key diseases that seriously endanger the health of children. Almost every spring there are a large number of young children infected with gangsters. At the moment when spring comes again, parents need to be reminded to strengthen their children's active protection and protect their children from infection.
Epidemic parotitis is referred to as gangsters, commonly known as cockroaches. All seasons are popular and common in winter and spring. It is a common respiratory infection in children and adolescents. It is an acute, systemic infection caused by the mumps virus. It is characterized by swelling and pain of the parotid gland, and it sometimes affects other salivary glands. Common complications are viral encephalitis, orchitis, pancreatitis, and oophoritis. Mumps virus belongs to Paramyxoviridae. The patient is the source of infection and direct contact, droplets, and saliva inhalation are the main routes of transmission. 2 to 3 weeks after contact with the patient. The prodromal symptoms of epidemic parotitis are lighter. The main manifestation is that one or both sides are centered on the earlobe and are swollen forward, backward and downward. The swollen parotid gland often has hemispherical edges that are unclear, and the surface is hot and tender. Disappears 7 to 10 days. This disease is a self-limiting disease. At present, there is a lack of specific drugs and antibiotic treatment is ineffective. The general prognosis is good.
What are the sequelae or complications of rogues?
If children with epidemic mumps are not treated in time or with inappropriate treatment measures, it may lead to the development of purulent mumps or conversion to recurrent mumps. Severe cases may invade the central nervous system and cause serious complications such as meningitis. Meningoencephalitis, acquired acquired deafness in children. Some adult patients may have concurrent orchitis, and severe cases can lead to male infertility, which places a heavy burden on society and the family. Pregnant women infected with mumps can be transmitted to the fetus through the placenta, resulting in fetal malformation or death, and the incidence of miscarriage increases. Each year, my expert clinic encounters some rogue children who have not received reasonable treatment. These rogue children may turn into suppurative mumps or relapse into chronic recurrent mumps, which seriously affects the health of children. Live and study normally.
How to find and treat rogues?
Once parents or teachers find that students have bilateral or side lobe swelling, pain, fever, sore throat and other symptoms, we must promptly urge them to go to the hospital for treatment, do not let their sick, parents and children must not hide the condition So as not to delay illness and infect others. I once treated a student with a primary school student. About 30 students in their class were infected with hooligans. It was because a migrant student had concealed his illness that most students in the class had been infected. The whole class was suspended for 2 weeks. I emphasize that the treatment of rogues must be timely and standardized. For those who have enlarged parotid glands, obvious pain, and obvious systemic symptoms (such as high fever), it is recommended to give intravenous antiviral drugs, antibiotics, and vitamin C for 3-5 consecutive days. After the symptoms improve significantly, they should be changed to oral antiviral drugs 3-5. day. After 10 days of systemic treatment, the vast majority of children can recover without sequelae and can go to school again. For the parotid gland swelling is very serious, in addition to consider the use of some Chinese medicine external application to promote swelling, but pay attention to skin protection and avoid skin damage. What needs to be reminded is that it is impossible to completely cure the snoring through external application alone, and even leave complications such as recurrent mumps. For those with milder symptoms, oral antiviral drugs, antibiotics, and VC can be used, which are basically curable for about 7-10 days. During the onset of gangrene, patients need more water, moderate outdoor sun exposure, and regular ventilation and ventilation to maintain air circulation. The daily necessities, toys, stationery, etc. shall be sterilized by boiling or insolation, etc. The disease may be mild or the fever may be appropriate; the diet of the children should be scientific and reasonable; eat more nutritious, easy to digest semi-liquid food or Soft food, in the acute phase do not eat sour, spicy, sweet and dry hard food, so as not to stimulate the salivary glands to increase secretion, increase swelling and pain. After the symptoms improve, you can eat some foods that promote saliva secretion to promote the recovery of salivary gland function. In addition, it is necessary to gargle with warm salt water every day, carefully brush your teeth, maintain oral hygiene, and prevent secondary bacterial infections.
Mumps can be prevented.
The usual measures are as follows:
1, personal hygiene habits. Develop good personal hygiene habits, so that "four times more than one": wash your hands, ground ventilation, ground clothes, exercise, drink plenty of water. This is a common method of preventing mumps.
2, if you find abnormal symptoms, early treatment. Once the child is found to be suspected of snoring, with fever or upper respiratory symptoms, he or she should go to the hospital promptly to facilitate early diagnosis and treatment.
3, vaccination. Mumps is a vaccine-preventable disease. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent epidemic parotitis. Children should complete vaccination on time, one needle at 1.5 years old and one needle at 6 years old. Children under 15 can be vaccinated. There are currently paralytic vaccines and leprosy vaccines.
4, during the epidemic of respiratory diseases, travel should be careful. This is also a method for the prevention of mumps. During the epidemic of respiratory diseases, it should be reduced to a crowded public place. When you go out, you should wear a mask, especially on a bus.
