Introduction: Acute parotitis is known as an uncommon disease in children and a rare condition in infancy.
Dehydration, prematurity, immune deficiency, congenital anomalies of the parotid gland or ducts, and oral trauma are some of its important risk factors.
The most common bacteria contributing to this condition is Staphylococcus aureus.
Acute parotitis is managed with intravenous antibiotic therapyandsurgery in complicated cases.
Favorable prognosis is reported in early diagnosisandproper antibiotic therapy.

She underwent treatment for the infantile colic diagnosis.
Conclusions: Timely diagnosis and treatment of acute bacterial parotitis prevented suppurative parotitis and formation of abscess
