What is a common symptom of mumps?

  1. High fever and rash

  2. Swelling of the hands

  3. Anorexia and orchitis in males

  4. Fatigue and loss of voice

The correct answer is: Anorexia and orchitis in males

The common symptom of mumps is indeed associated with anorexia and orchitis in males. Mumps is a viral infection that primarily affects the salivary glands, particularly the parotid glands, leading to prominent swelling. This swelling can cause discomfort and loss of appetite (anorexia). Additionally, in males, mumps can lead to inflammation of the testes, a condition known as orchitis. This can result in significant pain and further contribute to a decreased desire to eat, marking these symptoms as key characteristics of the disease. Other symptoms of mumps may include fever, headache, and muscle aches, but the combination of anorexia and orchitis specifically highlights the impact of the virus on male reproductive health, making it an important symptom to recognize in the context of diagnosing mumps.
