There is no specific antiviral treatment for mumps. Management focuses on relieving symptoms and includes:
Rest Hydration Analgesics and antipyretics, such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen, to reduce fever and pain Avoiding acidic foods and beverages that may stimulate salivary gland activity
Children with mumps should be isolated from others to prevent the spread of the virus, typically until five days after the onset of parotitis.
