Diet Therapy for Mumps
To begin with, the patient should be kept on a diet of orange
juice diluted with warm water on a 50:50 basis, for a few
days. If the orange juice does not suit the patient, the juices
of other fruits such as lemon, apple, pineapple, grapes; or
vegetables like carrots should be given.
When the patient can swallow food comfortably and the
swelling has subsided, an all-fruit diet should be adopted for
a day or two. Thereafter, he may be allowed to gradually
embark upon a well-balanced diet of natural foods, with
emphasis on fresh fruits and raw vegetables.
