5. Sore throat
The last in a list of five relatively mild mumps symptoms, a sore throat joins headaches, fevers, muscle pain, and swollen glands as things to be concerned about rather than to panic over.
A sore throat can make a person feel really down in the dumps, as it not only robs them of their wellness but oftentimes it steals away their voice. The raspy tones of someone with a sore throat may appeal to a certain demographic of people, but there really isn’t anything attractive about a sore throat.
Swollen and inflamed tissues at the back of the throat mimic the feeling of swallowing razor blades, not that too many people have experienced that in real life. Just know that sore throats hurt, a lot and that if you have mumps, this is one of the symptoms that you can expect to experience as part of the journey through the illness. Sorry about that.
