Mumps is a contagious infection that is caused by a virus type which is known as paramyxovirus. It can be passed from one individual to another through nasal secretion, saliva and even close personal contacts. The primary sign is the presence of swollen salivary glands which often causes the cheeks to puff out. There are three sets of salivary glands on each side of the face, found to be located below and behind the ears.
