Mumps is another contagious viral illness that affects the glands around the ears, causing puffy cheeks and a swollen, painful jaw. It can also affect the testicles, the pancreas, and several other organs. It is spread from person to person with close contact, such as those sharing a home, practicing sports with others, or sharing cups or water bottles.
