Mumps symptoms Early symptoms of the mumps tend to look like many common illnesses: a low fever and body aches. Eventually, you’ll have swelling and discomfort in the salivary glands at the front of the neck and the parotid glands in front of the ears and cheeks. That causes the swollen face usually associated with mumps.

According to the CDC, people who get 2 doses of the MMR vaccine are around 9 times less likely to get mumps than unvaccinated people who have the same exposure to the virus. If someone who was vaccinated does get mumps, they are likely to have a milder case than someone who didn’t get the vaccine.
