Is mumps a chronic disease

No, mumps is not considered a chronic disease; it is an acute viral infection caused by the mumps virus. It typically presents with symptoms such as swollen salivary glands, fever, and muscle aches, and usually resolves within a few weeks. While complications can occur, such as orchitis or meningitis, these are not the same as chronic conditions that persist over time. Most individuals recover completely without long-term effects.
