Objective To observe the effect of traditional Chinese medicine nursing on child epidemic parotitis.Method 60cases of children with epidemic parotitis received in our Hospital from January 2011to January2012were selected and randomly divided into experimental group and control group with 30cases in each group.Children from the control group were given routine nursing while children from the experimental group received traditional Chinese medicine nursing based on routine nursing.Time of pyretolysis

time of detumescence and effective rate in children from the two groups were observed.Results Average time of pyretolysis and detumescence in children from the experimental group was（36.00±9.79）h and（63.43±13.35）h respectively

while that of children from the control group was（61.90±10.96）h and（92.57±26.58）h.Total efficiency of the experimental group was 96.67% while that of the control group was 73.33%.The differences in curative effect between the two groups were statistically significant（p<0.05or p<0.01）.Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine nursing is able to improve the curative effect on child epidemic parotitis

lower complications and promote recovery in children.
