PRINT THESE PAGES OUT SO YOU HAVE THEM HANDY - mumps is usually very mild
and especially can be very mild without complications when treated with
homeopathy (also would use Vitamin A and C)
Also mumps in a child-boy or girl is rarely a problem. Mumps in a teen or
adult male can affect the testicles - rarely - and even more rarely does
it affect both testicles (resulting in sterility). Rarely.
These are to only be guidelines in the case of acute illness or first aid.
It helps shorten your time in looking when you are in a hurry with an ill
child. It helps you narrow down a little.
Read thru the list - if you find a remedy that sounds like it might fit,
then go to your book and read more about that remedy in the Internal
Materia Medica.
ALWAYS best to repertorize as you have been doing, but these are helpful.
Repertorizing enables you to get more individual.
NEVER to be used for chronic or recurring conditions.
Print out and save for quick reference!
I have compiled these sites - These are from a variety of homeopathic
websites to give you clues as to what remedy is needed.

REMEDIES
Aconitum: Useful at the beginning stages of mumps, these children have a
sudden onset of fever, restlessness, anxiety, and great thirst.
BELLADONNA: These children have a noticeably flushed face and throbbing
headache. They have swollen glands that are hot to touch. They are drowsy

Mercurius: Right-sided swelling of throat glands typify children who will
benefit from this medicine. They also have profuse and offensive salivation
and perspiration.
PHYTOLACCA: When children with mumps have stony hard throat glands,
especially on the right side, this medicine should be considered. The

wet weather.
PILOCARPINUM: Some homeopaths assert that this medicine is the best remedy
for the mumps, although there are few known distinguishing symptoms that it
offers, except excessive salivation and perspiration. This is also a good
remedy for complications that some children get from the mumps.

get the mumps and experience swollen breasts or testicles. They are
thirstless, despite having a fever, and they are sensitive to warm rooms.

Homeopathic Remedies for Mumps
Also indexed as: Parotitis
Introduction
Remedy options
Amount to take
Mumps is a viral infection in which the salivary glands, especially the
large parotid gland in the cheek, become inflamed and swollen. Fever,
headache, pain in front of and below the ears, and dry mouth (or sometimes
excessive salivation) are common symptoms. The following homeopathic
remedies can be helpful in many cases. Mumps in older children and adults
can be serious, since ovaries and testicles can become inflamed or damaged.
If areas other than the salivary glands are involved, if fever and headache
are extreme, or if the person has abdominal pain and vomiting, consult a
doctor right away.
For dosage information, please read the information at the end of this
section. See also “Using Homeopathy With Professional Guidance” in What Is
Homeopathy?
Aconitum napellus: This remedy may be indicated in mumps if the fever comes
on suddenly and the person is very agitated. Stabbing or tingling pain can
be felt in the jaw or face. The person feels worse from warmth and better
from fresh air, and is often very thirsty.
Apis mellifica: When this remedy is indicated, the face looks puffy, pink,
and tender, and cool compresses are soothing. Even with fever, thirst is
usually low. The person is irritable, disliking interference.
Arsenicum album: Strong anxiety and restlessness despite a feeling of
exhaustion suggest a need for this remedy. The head may feel hot and the
rest of the body chilly. This remedy is sometimes helpful in preventing
complications involving the ovaries or testicles.
Belladonna: When the illness comes on quickly with high fever, a hot
flushed face, and eyes that are sensitive to light, this remedy may be
indicated. Shooting pains can be felt in the swollen cheek (most often the
right). The person may also have a throbbing headache.
Bryonia: This remedy is indicated when the person feels worse from any
motion. Hard, tender swelling is felt in the cheek, and fever may be
accompanied by headache. The person’s mouth feels dry, with thirst for long
cold drinks. Bryonia may be helpful if the swelling abruptly disappears,
but the person feels worse in general.
Calcarea carbonica: This remedy often helps during the mumps if the
person’s head perspires during sleep, the hands and feet feel cold and
damp, and lymph nodes are also swollen. A person who needs this remedy
often feels anxious and is easily fatigued. Children may feel hot, but
adults tend to be chilly.
Carbo vegetabilis: When this remedy is indicated, fever may develop slowly,
and the person may feel chilled and faint. The stomach may also be upset,
with gas and belching. The person may want to be near a fan or window,
craving fresh or moving air. This remedy may often help if testicles,
ovaries, or breasts become involved in mumps, when the other symptoms fit.
Mercurius solubilis: This remedy can be helpful if hard, painful swelling
of the salivary glands occurs below the chin, as well as in the cheeks,
along with a large amount of salivation. The person is very sensitive to
temperature changes. Offensive breath, swollen lymph nodes, and
perspiration during sleep are also seen.
Phytolacca: This remedy may be useful if swelling of the parotid gland is
sore and tight, or if the breasts or other glands are becoming painful and
swollen. The person may feel tired, dizzy, and sore all over. Relief may
come from drinking something cold, but the person is better from warmth in
general.
Pulsatilla: Although this remedy is known for many kinds of children’s
illnesses, it can also be very helpful when adults come down with the
mumps. Discomfort and swelling may be felt in the ovaries, breasts, or
testicles. The person feels worse from warmth and in the evening and better
from open air. Despite a fever, thirst is often low. A person who needs
this remedy usually is emotional, wanting lots of sympathy and comforting.
Rhus toxicodendron: When swelling of the cheek looks reddish and the person
feels achy, restless, and driven to get up and move around, this remedy may
be helpful. Stiffness and aching are relieved by warmth and motion. This
remedy may also help to prevent infection with the mumps, and should be
considered if older children or adults have been exposed.
