Supportive care: To my understanding there is no anti-viral medication for the mumps virus. Care of the many issues involved revolve around supporting hydration & comfort while the body responds to the virus & develops its own antibodies to end the illness.Elevated white cell counts can represent a simple stress response, but should be monitored as a signal of a secondary infection that might benifit from treatme.
