Mumps is an acute viral infection caused by the mumps virus that primarily affects the parotid glands, leading to swelling. It is most common among children aged 5-15, can result in complications like hearing loss and meningitis, and is transmitted through direct contact or airborne droplets. Prevention is achieved through the MMR vaccine, and treatment focuses on relieving symptoms with rest, fluids, and pain management.

 Myocarditis
 Polyarthritis.

12.  SIGN AND SYMPTOMS
 Presented by chart

13. DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION
 History collection
 Physical examination
 Confirms the presence of swollen parotid
glands
 Blood test

14. TREATMENT
 Bed rest
 Plenty of fluids
 Paracetamol to reduce pain and fever
 Cold compress held against the parotid glands
 Soft and easy to swallow foods such as a soup,

 In some countries the second dose is given at
the age of 4-6 years.
 Pregnant women, patient on immunosuppressive

 Give analgesics to the patient

19. 2)Hyperthermia related to viral infection
Goal:- Reducing fever.
 Intervention :- check the vital sign of patient.
 Give the cold application of patient or Provide
Sponge bath of patient.
 Maintain the room temperature of patient.
 Assess patient condition every 2 hourly.
 Prevent shivering Use of blanket

20.  3) nutrition deficiency related to less intake of
food
 Goal- to maintain nutrition deficiency
 Intervention-assess the patient condition
 Assess the patient’s body fluids

condition.
 Goal- improve knowledge related to disease
condition
