Guide To The Symptoms Of Mumps

Fatigue And Weakness

Like the previously mentioned flu-like symptoms, fatigue and weakness are also associated with the beginning phases of the mumps. Most of these symptoms present themselves around one to two weeks after the initial passing of the infection takes place. Like decreased appetite, fatigue and weakness are a result of the body expending any and all energy to fight off the infection and prevent the further growth of the virus. Decreased food (and thus energy) intake, disrupted sleep, and lack of rest all contribute to the tiredness and weakness individuals feel when they are ill, and mumps is no different in this regard. Staying hydrated and forcing oneself to consume at least some nutrients is the only way to improve these particular symptoms.
