HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR MUMPS
Mumps is a viral infection that primarily affects the
parotid glands — one of three pairs of saliva-producing (salivary) glands,
situated below and in front of your ears. If you or your child contracts mumps,
it can cause swelling in one or both parotid glands.
Mumps was common in the United States until mumps
vaccination became routine. Since then, the number of cases has dropped
dramatically, so your odds of getting mumps are low. Complications of mumps,
such as hearing loss, are potentially serious, but rare.
Cause-The
cause of mumps is the mumps virus, which spreads easily from person to person
through infected saliva. If you're not immune, you can contract mumps by
breathing in saliva droplets of an infected person who has just sneezed or
coughed. You can also contract mumps from sharing utensils or cups with someone
who has mumps.
Symptoms-Some people infected with the mumps virus
have either no signs or symptoms or very mild ones. When signs and symptoms do
develop, they usually appear about two to three weeks after exposure to the
virus and may include:-Swollen, painful salivary glands on one or both sides of
your face (parotitis), Fever, Headache, Muscle aches, Weakness and fatigue, Loss
of appetite, Pain while chewing or swallowing
The primary — and best known — sign of mumps is swollen salivary glands
that cause the cheeks to puff out. In fact, the term "mumps" is an
old expression for lumps or bumps within the cheeks
