• Description:
  Mumps is an infectious disease caused by a virus. The most common symptom is painful swelling of the salivary glands, located between the ear and jaw. Along with swollen glands, people with mumps often have fever, muscle aches, tiredness, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite. About 1 out of 3 people with mumps may have no symptoms, or symptoms may be very mild. Symptoms usually appear about 16 to 18 days after being exposed to someone who was contagious.
