Latent symptoms of mumps?

First, unilateral involvement is common, and bilateral involvement is rare. In the early stage of inflammation, the symptoms were mild or not obvious, and the parotid gland area was slightly painful, swollen and tender. There was slight redness, swelling and pain at the orifice of the catheter. With the progress of the disease, fever, chills and unilateral parotid pain and swelling may occur.

Second: the parotid gland and the surface of the skin local red, swelling, heat, pain. When the lesion entered the suppurative stage, the pus could be seen flowing out from the orifice of the parotid gland. The most common viral mumps is epidemic mumps. Mumps is an infectious disease, the source of infection is patients and latent infection, the route of transmission is respiratory droplets and close contact.

Third: acute onset, often fever, headache, poor appetite and other precursor symptoms. After a few hours to 1-2 days, the body temperature can rise to more than 39 ℃ and salivary gland swelling occurs. Parotid gland is most often involved. The swelling usually develops forward, backward and downward with the earlobe as the center. The edge is unclear and mild tenderness. The pain is aggravated when chewing and eating acidic diet. Local skin is hot, tense and shiny but not red. Usually, the opposite side is involved after 2-4 days of parotid gland swelling.

matters needing attention

1. Keeping oral hygiene is an important link to prevent the disease. Dehydration often occurs in some patients with weak constitution, long-term bedridden, high fever or fasting. It is more important to strengthen oral care (such as brushing teeth carefully, mouthwashing with chlorhexidine solution, etc.), maintain body fluid balance, and strengthen nutrition and anti infection treatment. 2. Manage the source of infection and isolate the patients in the early stage until the swelling of parotid gland completely subsides. Contacts generally do not need to be quarantined, but they should be kept for 3 weeks in collective children's institutions, troops, etc., and suspicious persons should be temporarily isolated immediately.
