Mumps is a highly contagious viral infection that targets the salivary glands, especially the parotid glands near your ears. When these glands swell, you get those classic swollen cheeks and jaw. Mumps is caused by the mumps virus, part of the Paramyxoviridae family. It spreads through respiratory droplets when someone coughs or sneezes and through direct contact with an infected person’s saliva or respiratory secretions. So be careful and keep those germs away.
