What is mumps?

Mumps is a viral infection that affects the salivary gland called the parotid gland. It is a highly contagious virus. After the infection, the patient may feel the swelling of the parotid glands just below and in front of the ears. The swelling usually lasts about 7 to 9 days. Some of the symptoms associated with mumps include fever, sore throat, pain when swallowing and chewing, and in rare cases, swelling around the ovaries in girls or testicles in boys. Once you get the mumps infection, you usually won't get it again in your life.
