What are the symptoms of mouth disease?
"Big mouth" disease is the common name of mumps, which is caused by mumps virus. It is characterized by swelling and pain of parotid gland on one side or under both ears, accompanied by fever, which may be complicated with meningitis, orchitis and other diseases.
"Big mouth" disease is common in children and occasionally occurs in adults. Generally, only one person has suffered from it once, and very few people can suffer from it twice or more in their lives. If the elderly who have never had "big mouth" disease happen to have an epidemic nearby, their own resistance is low, and sometimes they will suffer from it, but this opportunity is extremely rare.
In case the elderly get "big mouth" disease, the symptoms may not be lighter than those of children, so drugs such as Radix Isatidis should be used in time.
