Mumps
Book AppointmentMumps is a viral infection that primarily affects the parotid glands (salivary glands located near the ears). If you or your child contracts mumps, it will cause swelling to both the parotid glands. This virus is spread through saliva and can affect any part of the body. After you or your child has had mumps, it is very difficult to contract it again, making the repetition of the disease almost impossible.
