Common complications of mumps in children do not include

Common complications of mumps in children include meningitis, orchitis, pancreatitis, etc., but not rheumatoid arthritis.

Mumps is mainly caused by the mumps virus and spreads through droplets. It usually has fever and parotid swelling as the main symptoms. Although most children can recover in a self-limited manner, the possibility of complications cannot be ignored. Meningitis is a common complication of mumps, which manifests as headache, nausea, vomiting, etc., and medical treatment should be sought promptly. Boys are more prone to orchitis, which may cause testicular swelling and pain and even affect reproductive function. Although pancreatitis is uncommon, it should be taken seriously when abdominal pain and nausea occur. Rheumatoid arthritis is not directly related to mumps and is not a complication.

In order to prevent mumps in children, parents should vaccinate their children with mumps vaccine (MMR vaccine) in time. Those who have been infected need to be isolated to avoid infection, strengthen nutrition and rest, and speed up recovery. If high fever, severe headache or testicular swelling and pain occur, seek medical attention immediately.
