Mumps in adults are about the same as for children: swelling in the neck and fever, neither better nor worse. Complications that are rare include deafness or pancreatitis.

Developing mumps in the adult stage of your life could potentially be a very serious and even a life-threatening condition. Children are vaccinated for the mumps early in life for good reason. This could attack your nervous system and be potentially fatal.
