I have been suffering from mumps, fever, and nasal congestion for the past three days, and my doctor has prescribed Moxileb-500 (three times a day), Ace-Proxyvon (twice a day), and Emanzen Forte (twice a day). Are these medicines appropriate for my condition?
Yes, some of these medicines help manage your symptoms, but there is an important distinction. Mumps is a viral infection. Ace-Proxyvon (for fever and pain) and Emanzen Forte (to reduce swelling in your salivary glands) are very appropriate. However, Moxileb-500 is an antibiotic; it will not cure the mumps virus itself unless your doctor suspects a secondary bacterial infection. Additionally, none of these medications directly treats nasal congestion; you might want to ask your doctor about adding a nasal decongestant. Please get plenty of rest, stay isolated to prevent spreading, and clarify the antibiotic?s use with your physician.
