Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Children's mumps does not necessarily require intravenous infusion. If the condition is not particularly severe, antibiotics such as amoxicillin granules can be appropriately used under a doctor's guidance for treatment. At the same time, medications like ibuprofen suspension can also be used in combination to achieve better therapeutic results. If medication treatment is ineffective, intravenous infusion may be administered for treatment.
