Mumps incidences in youngsters have recently increased in the states of Maharashtra and Telangana, causing alarm among parents.
About Mumps
A paramyxovirus causes this infectious sickness.
It can cause the parotid glands, which are located on each side of the face, to expand and become uncomfortable or unpleasant.
It is a severe disease that primarily affects children and young people.
Mumps virus is only known to infect humans and is transferred by direct touch or airborne droplets from infected individuals' upper respiratory tracts.
Symptoms
Mumps begins with non-specific symptoms such as myalgia, headache, malaise, and low-grade fever after a 2 to 4 week incubation period.
Within days, these symptoms are followed by unilateral or bilateral swelling of the parotid salivary glands, with 10% of cases affecting other salivary glands.
Mumps is often a minor, self-limiting condition that resolves without complications.
However, problems such as encephalitis or sensorineural deafness may arise.
Orchitis (painful inflammation of the testicles) affects 20% of young adult males who contract mumps.
Treatment
- There is no specific treatment. Medicines can help with a variety of symptoms.
Prevention
- The greatest approach to safeguard children is to have them immunized against mumps.
