Mumps refer to a virus infection of the salivary glands, gonads, and, occasionally, other parts of the body. It is an infectious disease that occurs most frequently in children and young persons between the ages of five and fifteen years. Most persons have mumps only once in their lives, but one person in ten may have a second attack.


Symptoms of Mumps:


Soreness or swelling of the parotid glands on one or both sides. Discomfort may range from vague tenderness to obvious pain when opening the mouth or swallowing

Fever, usually lasting about two to three days

Sore muscles

Loss of appetite

Headache

Earache that is aggravated by chewing

In men and adolescent boys, swelling in one or both testes (often subsides within four days)

Aversion to light, lethargy, and a stiff neck (which may indicate meningitis)

Upper abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting (which may indicate pancreatitis)

Lower abdominal pain in women (may indicate swelling of the ovaries, which is rare)


Treatment for Mumps


Drink plenty of fluids and eat properly. The diet should be light.

Pain relievers may be used for comfort.

For most children, the swelling in their glands goes away in a week. Any child with mumps should not return to school or day care for 9 days after the start of parotid swelling.
