Symptoms of chronic mumps

Chronic mumps was formerly called chronic suppurative mumps, but now we divide chronic mumps into two categories, one is chronic recurrent mumps and the other is chronic obstructive mumps. Since chronic mumps is divided into two types, we should also treat the symptoms of chronic mumps differently. As long as we understand the symptoms of chronic mumps, we can determine which type of chronic mumps we have.

Chronic mumps must be treated in time. We have many ways to treat chronic mumps. We can use disease-specific treatment methods or some antibiotics to treat it.

Chronic mumps is the most common salivary gland inflammation. This disease was formerly called chronic suppurative mumps and is now divided into two types: recurrent and obstructive. Chronic recurrent mumps is more common in children, with the age of onset being around 5 years old. The incidence is higher in males and the attacks are periodic. The younger the age, the shorter the intervals between attacks and the more prone to relapse. With age, the number of attacks decreases and the symptoms alleviated. It usually heals itself gradually after puberty. More than half of the patients had a history of contact with mumps during their first illness. The main clinical manifestations are repeated swelling and discomfort of the parotid gland, and purulent secretions overflowing from the duct orifice. Chronic obstructive parotitis, also known as parotitis, is mostly caused by local reasons. The incidence rate is high in middle-aged people and is mostly unilateral. The main clinical manifestations are obstructive symptoms and recurrent swelling of the parotid gland. The key to preventing this disease is to eliminate the cause and reduce infection.

1. Chronic recurrent mumps

(1) Recurrent swelling and discomfort of the parotid gland;

(2) The duct opening is slightly red and swollen, and pus or jelly-like liquid may be seen overflowing from the duct opening when the gland is squeezed;

(3) Periodic attacks, young age, and frequent attacks;

2. Chronic obstructive parotitis

(1) Most cases are unilateral parotid gland swelling that is recurrent and related to eating;

(2) In the morning, the parotid gland feels swollen, and a "alkaline" liquid flows out of the catheter, followed by a light feeling;

(3) Turbid fluid flows out of the catheter orifice. In patients with a long course of disease, a hard, cord-like catheter may be palpated;

(4) The parotid gland is slightly enlarged, medium in texture, and slightly tender;

Above we introduced what chronic mumps is. We know that chronic mumps can be divided into two categories. We have also made very detailed explanations of the symptoms of chronic mumps above. As long as we understand these symptoms, once chronic mumps occurs, we can determine whether we have chronic mumps.
