[edit] How

How long does it take for the swelling to go away when you have Parotitis? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.235.46.199 (talk) 2007-09-24T20:45:02

isn't bulimia associated with this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.9.22.121 (talk) 15:25, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I have removed this, as Orchitis has nothing to do with Parotitis: "Orchitis in young children might be a complication of parotitis because mumps is a common cause for childhood orchitis." Orchitis is too distended from parotid infection. Also, I believe that Orchitis is a complication caused by theMumps Virus rather than an infection of the parotid glands.
