Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Ponstan is given in a dose of 10 mg/kg 3 times daily.
Panadol dose is 15 mg/kg every 6-8 hourly.
In addition you may do tepid sponging several times depending on the need.
Mumps is a self limiting disease and no antibiotic is needed.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
