    Mumps is an acute disease characterized by swelling of the parotid glands caused by the mumps virus, which spreads through saliva and respiratory secretions. It mainly affects children and young adults, with an incubation period of 2-3 weeks. The classic symptom is swelling of the parotid gland on one or both sides of the face, accompanied by pain when opening the mouth. Complications can include pancreatitis, myocarditis, and orchitis. Prevention is through avoiding close contact and receiving two doses of the MMR vaccine at 12 and 18 months of age, which provides live attenuated virus vaccines against mumps, measles, and rubella.
