Do I have mumps or is it something else?
Hi, I've had a sore throat for a couple of days now and this morning I've woken up with swollen ear lobes and my left cheek feels red hot. My friend has suggested that it might be mumps, but I can't feel any swelling in my saliva gland, although it is quite difficult to swallow ... I'm a childminder and need advice ASAP please!
Been sneezing quite a bit too - thought it might have been start of hayfever until the ear thing this morning!

Having mumps now is very unlikely. It's more likely to be mono, but I can't say for sure. The best thing to do is to go to a doctor, because swollen glands can indicate a number of different problems.
