Childhood viral infection (5)

I believe the answer is:

mumps

(Other definitions for mumps that I've seen before include "Complaint" , "Infectious glandular disease" , "Disease once common in children" , "Viral disease with swellings" , "Infectious childhood disease" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
