The patient was prescribed a course of amoxicillin/clavulanate to J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f treat a possible concomitant bacterial parotitis and advised to apply warm compresses, massage the gland, use sialagogues to increase salivary flow and stay hydrated. Typically, viral parotitis is characterized by a prodrome of flu-like symptoms followed 2-4 days later by gradual swelling of the bilateral parotid glands, though unilateral involvement is seen in up to 25% of cases [6, 7] . Physical exam findings in suppurative parotitis include induration and tenderness of the parotid gland and purulent discharge from the duct orifice with massaging the gland [6, 7] . While we believe this was a viral-induced parotitis, given the unilateral presentation we treated her for possible bacterial co-infection. At the time we evaluated this patient there were no reports of COVID-19 associated parotitis.	./cache/cord-289684-rvbofsmb.txt	./txt/cord-289684-rvbofsmb.txt
