A high fever (up to 103 degrees Fahrenheit) and swelling of
the salivary glands follow over the next few days. The glands
may not all swell at once. More commonly, they swell and
become painful periodically. You are most likely to pass the
mumps virus to another person from the time you come into
contact with the virus to when your parotid glands swell.
Most people who contract mumps show symptoms of the
virus. However, some people have no or very few symptoms.
