Symptoms of mumps include fever, swelling and tenderness of one or more of the salivary glands, usually the
parotid gland located just below the front of the ear. Almost one-third of infected people does not have
symptoms.
The fever could be up to 40oC and the swelling can feel oppressive and sore. The earlobes stick out and the
child's face eventually looks very swollen. The child experiences pain when opening their mouth. In mild
cases the swelling may only last three to four days, but it can go on for a week or more.
