A member asked:

For mumps doc suggested signoflam tablet for 10 days,2 times a day..now he got orchitis can he continue to take the same tablet till he feels better?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anti inflammatory: Signoflam is an antiinflammatory its not an antiviral medication. Mmps is caused by a virus. You will not stop the progression of the disease with any medication. The signoflam will only help with the pain from swelling or with fever.
