What is the mumps treatment, and how can the symptoms be managed naturally? - #16907
I’ve heard of mumps before, but I never thought it would affect me until I started noticing swelling in my neck and jaw. After going to the doctor, I was diagnosed with mumps. The doctor explained that it’s a viral infection, but I still don’t fully understand how to treat it and what the symptoms are. What exactly is mumps, and how can it be treated? From what I know, mumps causes swelling in the salivary glands, especially around the jaw and neck area. But how long does it usually take for the symptoms to subside, and how do doctors typically manage the infection? I’ve heard that since mumps is caused by a virus, antibiotics won’t work, so what are the treatment options? I’m guessing it’s mostly about managing the symptoms until the virus runs its course, but are there any specific medications or natural remedies that can help with swelling or pain? I’ve read that some people can have complications from mumps, such as testicular swelling or even meningitis, but how common are these complications? How can I tell if my case of mumps is getting worse or if complications are developing? I also wonder if there are natural remedies or practices from Ayurveda that can help ease the discomfort of mumps. I’ve heard that certain herbs like turmeric, neem, or ginger can reduce inflammation—could these be used in the treatment of mumps? If anyone has dealt with mumps, I’d love to hear your experience. How long did it take for your symptoms to improve, and what treatments or remedies worked for you?
