Whether amoxicillin capsules can treat mumps depends on the underlying cause.
If mumps is caused by a bacterial infection, amoxicillin capsules may be used for treatment, as they possess anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. However, if mumps is caused by a viral infection, amoxicillin capsules are not appropriate, as they lack antiviral activity.
