Symptoms are fever, some tenderness and discomfort, difficulty swallowing and looking like a hamster. It can also affect other glands- underarms and testicles. Symptoms only last about 4 days, but you will have been infectious for several days by then, and will still be infectious for several days after you feel better. Spread just like a cold, coughing sneezing, hand contact. Best to stay in your well-ventilated room and keep fresh tissues, wash hands etc. Generally not too serious an illness, but can cause problems for some people- Babies, pregnant women and young lads (puberty) most at risk.
'not serious': similar to rubella/german measles: if a boy gets rubella, no big deal for him, but if he gives it to a teenage girl or pregnant women then it is serious and could be fatal to unborn children. Mumps isn't seen as so serious now because so few people get it, so the numbers getting a serious reaction of infertility is very small. If however the doctors decided it wasn't serious enough to warrant a vaccination then being highly contagious it would become widespread again and then it would indeed be a fairly big problem.
