Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I know this sounds ridiculous, but I have mumps. I make look like a deformed chipmunck. In fact, I think chipmuncks would disown me. I had mumps when I was a kid, but it seems that one can get them several times. At least when I was at my doctor's clinic yesterday, there was a lady there whom had had them 3 times. Imagin................ Don't they have a vaccination for mumps now? I wonder how effective it is??? I have been feeling awful for the last couple of weeks and have had a sore throat al lot time and swollen glands most of the time, but thought that it was the M.E. . A couple of days ago, I suddenly got a huge lump [the size of tennic ball - truly!] on the left side of my face, in front of and under my ear. It has hurt like 'you don't want to know' and so yesterday went to see my doctor. It seems to get worse at night. Anyways................................................... Does anybody know what to do for mumps??? I haven't a clue but this is very painful and I can't lie down or my teeth feel as if I have several badly infected swollen teeth in both my uppper and lower jar -- I was up all night. Every half hour, literally, I had to walk around for a couple of minutes and the pain would subside. It throbs. Any ideas what to do to stop the pain ? One infected tooth is painful -- it is like having tooth aches in all the teeth on my left side. I am going nuts here. many blessings Shan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
