Redness on both sides of the cheeks:
- If caused by mumps, patients may take antiviral medications—such as ribavirin granules—under a physician’s guidance, along with cold compresses as adjunctive therapy.
- If due to allergic dermatitis, antihistamines—such as desloratadine tablets or levocetirizine hydrochloride capsules—may be administered to alleviate the above symptoms.
