Mumps in 2yo

hello (posted this in general health to see if anyone can help here as well as child health)

My 2.5yo DD has large soft swellings under each ear/back of jaw - complaining they hurt. Think it could be mumps - off to docs at 3.30.

I'm really worried as you hear so many bad things about mumps, and also, I have a 16wo baby, so worried about him getting it off her.

Has anyone else had a toddler with it? Any experiences/tips etc appreciate, please no horror stories, I'm worried enough.

Many thanks

Hi, my DS had mumps as a toddler. He was not very well for a couple of days, swallen glandstommy ache, fever etc. But nothing too dramatic. At that age it is usually quite mild.

I assume your DC didn't have MMR?
