Mumps (Mumps)

Specifically, the parotids - located on the sides of the ears - and, sometimes, the sublingual or submandibular glands are generally affected. Glandular swelling is generally bilateral (affects the reason behind the parotid, in front of and below the ear) and persists for at least 5-7 days, associated with pain when chewing or swallowing. In addition, the skin over the ears. glands can become tense and shiny.

Mumps is a contagious disease, but well controlled in many countries with vaccination.
