Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Your parotid glands are major salivary glands. They’re located just beneath and in front of each ear. Each of your parotid glands produce about 10% of the total saliva in your mouth-even more when you eat.
Detailed explanation-2: -When you get mumps, the virus moves from your respiratory tract (your nose, mouth and throat) into your parotid glands (saliva-producing glands found either side of your face), where it begins to reproduce. This causes the glands to swell.
