Mumps is a viral infection that primarily affects the salivary glands, causing swelling, pain, and discomfort. While it is most common in children, adults can also experience mumps. Conventional treatments focus on symptom relief, but homeopathy offers a natural, holistic approach to treating mumps and its complications.
