Mumps is the common name for mumps, also known as mumps in Chinese medicine. It is an acute respiratory infection caused by the mumps virus infecting the human body. The disease is most common in children, but can also be seen in young people. The main clinical manifestations are swelling and pain in one or both parotid glands, accompanied by fever, headache, fatigue, weakness and other symptoms of intoxication. Mumps is self-limiting and usually lasts for about 2 weeks. There are no specific drugs for this virus, so the main treatment measures are rest and symptomatic treatment.
