Mumps can be described as a contagious and viral infection. Mumps will affect the salivary glands, causing swelling of the jaws and face. Mumps can mainly occur due to a virus called the paramyxovirus. It will be transmitted through saliva droplets while coughing, sneezing, and talking.

Prevention of mumps can be done by vaccinating the child with a vaccine called MMR (measles, mumps, rubella). The diagnosis of mumps can be done through diagnostic tests such as blood tests, rarely advised urine tests, and a sample from the mouth. Children with mumps will recover within 3 to 10 days. The treatment advised for mumps will depend on controlling the severity of symptoms, such as pain relievers to reduce the pain, adequate rest, a cold or hot pack over the swelling, and drinking lots of fluids.
