Mumps can also effected by the mumps virus, the type of paramyxovirus will spreads from person to person via coughs, sneezes and saliva, also through contact with contaminated items and surfaces (used tissues, during the time of drinking glasses, unhygienic hands that touched a runny nose). Symptoms of mumps include fever, headache, malaise and swollen, tender salivary glands (usually the parotid which is a type of salivary gland located just below the front of each ear). Symptoms of mumps begin to appear 12 to 25 days (usually 16-18 days) after exposure in about 30%-40% of infected individuals. Approximately 20% of infected individuals will have no symptoms. An additional 40%-50% may have only non-specific or primarily respiratory symptoms (particularly in children less than five years of age). Symptoms tend to decrease after one week and have usually resolved after 10 days. Mumps happens regularly in young children and undergrads. Flare-ups are uncommon, however can occur. An episode is when numerous individuals from one region catch a similar malady. Specialists are investigating why episodes despite everything occur and approaches to forestall them. The vast majority who get mumps never get it again.
