    - Mumps is a viral infection caused by the mumps virus that primarily affects the salivary glands, causing swelling and pain. - It is transmitted through saliva and respiratory secretions from infected individuals. The incubation period is usually 12-24 days. - While most people recover within a week or two with rest and over-the-counter pain medications, complications can sometimes occur, especially in adult males where the virus may spread to the testes. Vaccination provides effective protection against mumps.

    TREATMENT

    • There is no specific treatment for mumps. Most people recover within 3 to 10 days.
    • Steps you can take to aid recovery and lessen symptoms include:
