Overview

Parotitis therapy is primarily supportive and symptomatic. Common therapies include analgesics, such as paracetemol and diclofenac, and other measures to relieve pain, including heat massages and warm saltwater mouth rinses. Therapy that increases saliva flow is also used, including extra fluids and foods that stimulate saliva flow, including lemon drops and vitamin C lozenges. Other therapies are used to target the potential cause of the parotitis, including antiretroviral medication, antimicrobial therapy, anti-tuberculosis therapy, and sialendoscopy and parotid gland surgery.
