The document discusses mumps, a viral disease caused by the mumps virus. It is transmitted through direct contact with saliva or respiratory droplets from an infected person. The main symptom is swelling of the salivary glands, usually the parotid glands located below and in front of the ears. Diagnosis involves collecting a medical history, doing a physical exam, and potentially testing saliva, urine or blood samples. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms through rest, hydration, analgesics and antipyretics. Complications can include meningitis, orchitis in males, or deafness due to auditory nerve involvement.
