Mumps is a contagious viral infection that causes the swelling of one or more of the salivary glands primarily affecting the parotid salivary glands. It is also known as viral parotitis.
What causes mumps?
Mumps is caused by Rubulavirus which is RNA virus that is within the genus Paramyxovirus and it is a member of the family Paramyxoviridae. It is also called the mumps virus.

• Lack of appetite.
• Muscle pain.
• Parotid swelling.
• Submandibular and sublingual salivary glands enlargement.
Diagnosis of Mumps:
Blood, urine & saliva samples - to confirm the diagnosis
Serology;
• The presence of IgG - past exposure & possible immunity
• Rise in IgG titre more than 4 times from acute to convalescent serum indicates recent infection
• Presence of IgM - recent infection
• IgM is present in 100% patients by day 5
Complications of Mumps;
• Orchitis with painful and tender testis.
• Oophoritis in girls and women.
• Pancreatitis.

• Aspirin containing medications should be avoided.
• Avoid food which encourages salivary flow - acid foods, fruit juices and spicy foods.
• Patients are advised to eat soft or liquid foods as chewing may aggravate the pain
• Most people recover from mumps within two weeks
How to Prevent Mumps;
• Avoid sharing utensils and drinks.
• Cover your mouth when sneezing or coughing.

Thanks very much!
Excellent, explain
My grandson woke up this morning crying saying his jaws are paining and is very senitive to the tiuch could this be possible mumps..Should i take him to the doctor...Thank you
If your grandson is experiencing jaw pain and sensitivity to touch, it could potentially be due to various causes, including mumps. Mumps is a viral infection that can cause swelling and pain in the salivary glands, typically near the jawline. However, other conditions like dental issues or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder can also cause jaw pain.
Given the symptoms you described, it would be a good idea to take your grandson to a doctor for a thorough evaluation. The doctor will be able to examine him, ask specific questions about his symptoms, and provide a proper diagnosis. They may recommend further tests or suggest appropriate treatment options based on their findings.
Thank you for this,I actually thought my wisdom teeth were coming in but they hurt so bad and then I started noticing a bump and unevenness in my face then I watch the Brooklyn 99 episode were they got mumps and it got me thinking 😅 everyone watching this with the mumps get well soon ❤️🩹

Which antibiotics can be give in mumps
Mumps is a viral infection, and antibiotics are not effective in treating viral infections, including mumps. Mumps is caused by the mumps virus, and there is no specific antiviral medication to treat the infection. Treatment for mumps is generally supportive and focuses on managing the symptoms. This may include rest, staying hydrated, and taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen to alleviate pain and fever. It's also important to practice good hygiene to prevent the spread of the virus, such as frequent handwashing and isolation to avoid spreading the infection to others.
