Didn't you get immunized as a child for mumps. We had to to go to school. I haven't heard of anyone having them in years. I feel for you. I hear they are not fun for an adult for sure. They can make you sterile I think.
Surprisingly, I didn't yet have my Mumps and some other important immunization finished when I was nearly ready to graduate and had to get them to do so!
Dang, Broons, I had to google adult mumps, shocking how nasty it is, get well dude, hugs from afar hehe, I'm layed up with a bad back, which I know you're familiar with, take care!
Here you got one shot it was called MMR. Mumps , Measles, and Rubella. I had to do one a couple years ago because I didn't have proof I had the shoot. I was going to enroll in a JR. college.
I hope you feel better. Did you get them on both sides. If you only got it on one side I think you are still susceptible. I'm not sure.
It's been 8 days now but I'm starting to feel better. Zero appetite, have probably lost 10 pounds (which at 46 is definitely not a bad thing).
To answer your question Larry, swelling only on one side of my throat thankfully.
