The real name for mumps is "epidemic parotitis." It is a viral infection caused by the mumps virus, which primarily affects the salivary glands, leading to swelling and pain. Mumps can lead to complications such as orchitis and meningitis if not properly managed. Vaccination has significantly reduced the incidence of mumps in many parts of the world.
