Viral disease affecting children also called epidemic parotitis (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mumps

(Other definitions for mumps that I've seen before include "Contagious viral disease" , "Epidemic parotitis" , "Viral disease, dangerous to adult males" , "Gland-swelling disease" , "Disease once common in children" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
