Mumps
If your child's complaining of painful, swollen glands around the jaw,
fever, headache and difficulty swallowing, they might have mumps. They
may also complain of a dry mouth and joint pain.
Treating the symptoms
There's no specific treatment for mumps, so it's best to try to treat the
symptoms. A fever-reducing medicine such as CALPOL® Infant Suspension
should tackle the temperature and relieve aches and pains or you could use
CALPROFEN® Ibuprofen
Suspension which gets to work on fever in just 15 minutes and lasts
up to 8 hours. You should also give your child soft food and lots of
fluids, but avoid fruit juice.
This is for background information only. If you are at all concerned or
in any doubt contact your GP.
