Mumps

There are many diseases, and one of them is mumps. I would like to tell you  about it, what symptoms it has and how it is treated.
                   
Mumps is a catching disease caused by a virus that passes from one person to another through saliva or nasal secretions. The condition primarily affects the salivary glands, also called the parotid glands. There are three sets of salivary glands on each side of your face,located behind and below your ears.
Its symptoms is: fever,headache,muscle aches, tiredness,loss of appetite,swollen glands.


           

       Treatment
Because mumps is a virus, it doesn’t respond to antibiotics or other medications. However, you can treat the symptoms to make yourself more comfortable while you’re sick. These include: 
1)Rest when you feel weak or tired.
2)Take pain relievers,such as ibuprofen,to bring down your fever.
3)Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration due to fever.
4)Soothe swollen glands by applying ice packs.
5)Eat food that isn’t hard to chew.
6)Avoid acidic food that may cause more pain in your salivary glands.



 

Be healthy and do not get sick!
