Hello everyone - long time no see.
I have mumps and work in a school. i have been off this week on the advice of the doctor. infectious for 5 days after the swelling first appeared ( Monday)
my glands on the other side and under my neck have started swelling and are painful now and i look like a bullfrog! not pleasant....

It started off one side and then took off on the other side .It took about three weeks before I felt better .Just keep away from young people .Stay at home until it's gone .
I felt like punching the wall at times . I hope your GP has given you a good painkiller .I do sympathise .Mumps are no fun as an adult ,and hope that you feel better soon .
