Ds1s best friend has been unwell with "probably mumps" for 3 days. Day 1 the swelling was horrendous - 6 inches added onto his face, day 2 less uncomfortable, day 3 almost invisible.
His mum has been avised to keep him out of circulation for 5 days. My children's health book says he is infectious for 2 weeks.
We are all due at a swimming party on day 7. Both he and my boys have had mmr jabs.
