Mumps Unmasked: A Parent's Guide to Vaccination and Prevention (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798341220843)

Mumps is a contagious viral infection caused by the mumps virus, which primarily affects the salivary glands, particularly the parotid glands located near the jaw. The classic symptom of mumps is swollen cheeks and jaw, resulting from inflammation in these glands. While mumps is often associated with childhood, it can affect individuals of any age who are not vaccinated. Understanding mumps is crucial for parents, as it highlights the importance of vaccination and awareness to prevent outbreaks and complications.
