3. Headache
Another common symptom regularly experienced by mumps sufferers is headaches which are common and frequent amongst sufferers. As you will read later on, serious complications of mumps can affect the brain, but in most cases, headaches are only mild to moderate, responding well to hydration, avoidance of light and over the counter medication.
For many people with mumps, a headache and a slight fever will be the very worst symptoms they ever experience, and for that, they should perhaps be grateful. As previously stated though, a great number of people, the world over, live with mumps day in, day out, completely none the wiser.
Whatever the actual cause of a headache, they still cause the person a fair amount of suffering and misery from their onset to their departure, and so sensitivity is encouraged toward anyone complaining of having a bad head. Avoiding triggers such as dehydration and invasive no natural light sources remains a sound bit of advice for anyone with mumps and a headache.
