What's d differences between mumps and tonsils swelling?? what is d symptoms of mumps??

Mumps: Mumps is a specific viral infection of the parotid gland which lies just forward of the ear. Symptoms are swelling, pain and fever. Tonsils are in the throat and are lymphatic tissues. Symptoms of tonsillitis are fever and sore throat. Tonsillitis can be caused by viruses or strep. Antibiotics only treat strep so both infections if viral must run their course of a week plus.

Direct vs indirect: Tonsils are big lymphatic tissue centers located at the entrance to your throat.Many germs you are exposed come in direct contact with them & may cause them to become inflamed/swell. Mumps involves glands that sit outside your jawbone under/forward from your ears. They are enclosed in tissue.They can become inflamed if a germ,like mumps virus, gets into your blood & goes to these glands.
