In clinical settings, there are two types of mumps: suppurative mumps and epidemic mumps. Suppurative mumps is caused by Staphylococcus aureus infection; while epidemic mumps is caused by a mumps virus infection. Particularly severe cases of mumps can have serious complications including fever, orchitis, pneumonia, etc. Thus, it is crucial to detect and treat it early. Common symptoms of suppurative mumps include swelling and pain in the salivary glands, with redness, swelling, heat, and pain appearing prominently. When pressure is applied to the swollen gland, pus can be seen flowing from the salivary duct. Epidemic mumps usually has an acute onset and is more common in the winter and autumn. It also features enlargement of the salivary glands, accompanied by headache, fever, and loss of appetite. There will be redness and swelling around the mouth, eventually developing into central swelling at the earlobe, affecting eating, and with localized feverish skin.
