In this episode of EENT101, host Dr. Christina G. Gonzales, DMSc, MPAS, PA-C, discusses Parotitis, inflammation of the parotid gland that can be infectious, inflammatory, or obstructive in nature. You’ll learn to recognize features such as gland swelling, pain (especially with chewing), and purulent duct drainage, distinguish between bacterial, viral (including mumps), and noninfectious causes, and review management strategies ranging from hydration and massage to antibiotics or surgical intervention when needed.
