No, you are correct, Clavam contains Amoxicillin and Clavulanic Acid, it is an antibiotic and is not effective against viruses, it will only treat or prevent bacterial infections.

Mumps is actually usually left to run its course, as it will clear up on its own and the infected person is usually only given medications for pain, if they are experiencing it.
