A weakness of the body
Mumps causes a feeling of general body weakness. Adults with this condition often complain of extreme tiredness or fatigue. They are often seen confined to their bed or chairs and even the simplest of tasks overwhelm them.
Prevention of Mumps is by adequate vaccination. People are often completely immune to the disease when they receive the complete course of the vaccine. The vaccine comes as a combination of the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella vaccine (MMR). They are given, as a rule, two courses before a child gets to the age of six.
No treatment for this virus exists to date. However, this shouldn’t be cause for alarm because it resolves on its own. Patients are advised to have enough rest, take plenty of water, and gargle salted water, amongst other things.
