Re: Mumps symptoms

[Guest guest]

I saw your post...my child had mumps a few weeks ago. The doctor didn't

even want to admit it at first. Said it was a parotid infection. She went

and got blood titers drawn - then dr. said it was mumps, then called one

evening and said it wasn't - then finally I took her back to the hosp to

have it drawn again and had another ped interpret it - and yes, she did have

the mumps. She is 10 years old now. There are a few symptoms of mumps that

I have been told are not symptoms of parotid infection. One is that mumps

will move from one side to the other - a parotid infection will usually not,

and the " pickle test " ..if the kid ( if they usually enjoy pickles)

absolutely cannot eat a pickle...mumps. It will actually hurt the salivary

glands to eat it. Parotid infection doesn't include that symptom...and, just

for info...parotid infections really can look like mumps, and they both hurt

a lot - but mumps is worse - can't even bend the head to the side. Fever

with parotid infection about 65% of the time..no fever in mumps...hhhmmmm -

trying to think of other stuff. Oh, lots of tirednes asociated with the

mumps...in fact, it's a major symptom of it and one of the defining factors.

My daughter would play for a little while, and then just drift off to sleep

on the couch while she was talking!

Hope this helped some.

Yes, anyone can get mumps after the vaccine.

when Iworked in Pediatrics, we had a young man come in with Mumps, he'd not only

had the initial vax, but the 7th grade booster as well ....

My son had the mumps at age 5. The doctor was in so much denial she kept

insisting it was a mumps-like virus. Rubbish! It was classic mumps. He

survived quite nicely, as did I at the same age.

Mumps symptoms

My son received his MMR shot at 18 months before I knew better. We

have since stopped vaccinating. Right now he seems to have symptoms

of mumps. Has anyone heard of a previously vaccinated child getting

mumps? I am aware that vaccinations don't always work as there are

many cases of chicken pox around town involving vaccinated kids.I

don't know anyone who has a child who has had mumps though! Thanks!
