One or both sides in front of the ear become tender and doughy.
Sour food and opening the mouth hurt.
Tummy pain or testicular pain needs a call, not a wait.
Vaccine is the reason mumps became uncommon — missed doses bring it back.
We confirm it is the parotid, not a simple lymph node or tooth issue.
Soft food, fluids and pain relief. No antibiotic for a typical viral mumps.
Until swelling has been down for the period we advise.
We complete MMR for everyone who is due.
We take a full history — onset, feeding, fever, sleep, school and any earlier reports.
Growth, chest, tummy, skin and development are checked. Tests are advised only if they change care.
A clear home plan is given, with a review so we know the child is settling.
Book if swelling is very tense, the child cannot drink, or there is severe tummy or testicular pain.
