Hi,Dear,
Thanks for the query to HCM. I studied your problem in depth and I understood your concerns.
Cause and plan of Treatment-
In my opinion on the given data,your 4 yr old seems to have
Mumps with parotitis. This is
viral parotitis.
Treatment is supportive ONLY- by anti-pyretic / anti-inflammatory drugs/ antibiotics for 5 dasy to prevent secondary bacterial parotid
abscess with plenty of fluids.
Don't guess more. I would advise ER Paediatric Consultation to avoid further complications with it.Hope this would resolve your issues.Act fast.
So keep cool and Consult your ER Paediatrician, if need be , who would treat it accordingly.
So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you, but just ask a query to HCM and be comfortable to resolve your health issues.
Welcome for any more query in this regard to HCM.
Write good reviews and Click thanks if you feel satisfied with my advise.
Have a Good Day.
Dr.Savaskar M.N.
