[0002] Mumps is a common infectious disease in children, with localized swelling and pain. Traditionally, Western medicine has focused on symptomatic treatment, such as pain relief and fever reduction, but this approach often only alleviates symptoms.

[0003] Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) considers this disease to be mumps. The parotid gland is located in the Shaoyang meridian, and it is believed that pathogenic toxins are trapped in the Shaoyang meridian, preventing the meridian qi from being unblocked, and the pathogenic toxins travel up the meridians to attack the cheeks. Treatment is based on dredging the Shaoyang meridian, clearing away heat and toxic substances, and dispersing stagnation and reducing swelling. Oral Chinese medicine is primarily used, with the synergistic effects of various components of Chinese medicine to achieve a radical cure for mumps. However, existing Chinese medicine formulas for treating mumps have long treatment times and are not significantly effective, requiring patients to endure prolonged pain and suffering.
