Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Mumps is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by the mumps virus invading the parotid glands. It is a common respiratory infection among children and adolescents, but it can also occur in adults, caused by the mumps virus. It can lead to complications such as encephalitis, which is relatively dangerous. Consider using red beans ground into a paste and applied externally for treatment.
