Ibunya Wibi,
Gondongan itu nama lainnya Mumps. Untuk yang masih di
bawah 2 tahun atau yang belum pernah kena perlu
divaksin MMR agar tidak tertular. Tetapi karena Wibi
sudah kena ya tinggal dijaga saja kondisinya agar
tetap fit. Karena gondongan itu karena virus jadi
obatnya pun hanya mencegah efek samping yang lain
(panas, deman, nyeri, dll) sedangkan penyembuhannya
tergantung dari daya tahan anak. Saya sendiri kurang
tahu mengenai khasiat blau dan cuka, tapi tanpa
dioleskan dengan itu pun dalam 2 minggu sudah akan
sembuh karena masa sakitnya memang sekitar waktu
tersebut. Di bawah ada artikelnya, jadi untuk Asa
mumpung masih ada waktu sempatkan untuk di vaksin ya
bu.

What is mumps?
Mumps is a highly contagious disease caused by
infection with a virus. Infection with the mumps virus
results in tenderness and swelling of the salivary
glands in the cheeks and neck. Rare complications
associated with mumps infection include inflammation
of the brain (encephalitis) and of the tissues
covering the brain and spinal cord (meningitis). Other
complications observed with mumps include deafness,
arthritis, and inflammation of the testes, kidney,
pancreas, or thyroid gland. Although anyone can get
mumps, the greatest risk of infection occurs among
unvaccinated school age children. Mumps occurs more
often during the winter and spring.

How do you get it?
You get mumps by direct exposure to saliva from
persons infected with the mumps virus. 

What are the symptoms of mumps?
The symptoms include fever, swelling, and soreness of
the salivary glands in the neck region (most often at
the area at the lower jaw near the ears). Swelling of
the testes occurs in up to 25% of males who get the
disease after puberty. About one third of persons
infected with the virus do not show any symptoms.

When do symptoms start?
The symptoms usually start 18 days after infection
with the virus, but the onset can range from 12 to 25
days .

What is the treatment for mumps?
Currently, there is no specific treatment for mumps.
Management of patients with mumps consists mainly of
ensuring adequate intake of water and food, bed rest,
and aspirin for fever control.

If you get it once can you get it again?
No. A person develops lifelong protection after having
the disease once.

Is there a vaccine for mumps?
Yes. The mumps vaccine is given as measles/
mumps/rubella (MMR) shot at 12 to 15 months of age.

Should a person with mumps be excluded from school or
work?
Yes. A person with mumps should not be allowed to
attend school or work for 9 days after the onset of
symptoms. The contagious period extends from 1 week
before onset of symptoms to about 9 days after onset.
A person with mumps is most contagious 48 hours before
symptoms start. 

How can you keep from getting it?
The best way to keep from getting mumps is to get
vaccinated at the recommended age. 

Women who are pregnant, and those with severe egg
sensitivity should consult their physician about
whether they should be vaccinated.
