What are the mumps?
Mumps is an infectious viral disease that classically causes inflammation of the teaching glands, also known as saliva. Since 1967, the mumps have been fully prevented by vaccination, so it is relatively unusual to see the case of mumps in the ground with thorough vaccination. For example, in North America and Europe, mumps are often on the list of vaccinations needed to visit the school. In developing countries, however, there are cases of mumps due to the inability to gain access to the necessary vaccines. Several other infectious diseases are caused by paramyxoviruses; Mumps are in the genus Rubulavir, along with the virus Tiomanan, which causes swelling of the brain known as encephalopathy. The virus hides in the patient's saliva and passes through coughing, sneezing or other contact with saliva. The disease is highly contagious, the symptoms occur about two weeks after the explosion.
The first feature of a mump case is often a high fever accompanied by headaches. Shortly afterwards the saliva swells and in some cases the patient may experience swelling of the reprodesUkive and abdominal bodies. In male patients, the swelling of the testicles may be quite painful and can lead to sterility. Mumps generally do not kill, although in some cases it can cause inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, which will be fatal if it is not treated.
Mumps treatment generally relies on letting the disease perform their course, while the patient is monitored to ensure that no more serious symptoms occur. It is important to maintain the patient fed and hydrated, although the swelling around the mouth can make it difficult to eat. Soft foods such as smoothies and yoghurts are a good choice. The doctor may also recommend aspirin for pain, although aspirin should not be offered to very young children without the consent of the doctor, because it was associated with health conditions such as Reye's syndrome.
The formal name for mumps is "epidemic parotitis", reference to infectious diseases, along with the tendency to swellOb. "Mumps" come from an old English word, which means "swelling". In general, the mumps can be prevented by childhood vaccination and a strengthening shot about three years later. People traveling or living in tight conditions with others may want to consider another booster to ensure that they are immune. If you have already been infected with mumps, you will be immune to this in the future.
