MUMPS

Mumps is a virus that can make you feel really sick. It can sometimes cause a swelling in your face or neck. That's why it's sometimes called the "mumps". When you get mumps, your body will try to fight the virus, and it will usually get better in a few weeks. You can help it along by resting, drinking lots of fluids and taking medicine to help you feel better.
