Mumps in children is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by the mumps virus, characterized primarily by the enlargement of the salivary glands. It can be complicated by meningitis and pancreatitis. Clinically, it presents as mumps with symptoms including fever, headache, loss of appetite, and discomfort. Within 24 hours, pain beneath the earlobe occurs, with the center of the earlobe presenting a saddle-like shape, swelling accompanied by pain. The salivary glands shrink after four to five days, and the salivary duct appears red and swollen, which aids in diagnosis. Some children may also develop complications such as meningitis and pancreatitis. After the age of ten, male children may experience complications like orchitis.
