My wife got the mumps when she was in her mid 40's. Her jaws hurt like crazy & she ask the DR. if she had the mumps but who gets the mumps at 45+ yrs. old. He started treating her for something off the wall, he never mentioned mumps because I really don't think he ever treated anybody with the mumps. We asked him if it was contagious & he said NO, so we went out to a restaurant that night, now can you believe how many people got exposed to this disease. So my wife called our brother in law who's a Internist. He told her to put her hand over her month & blow without letting no air out, my wife said it hurt like H _ _ _, he said you have the mumps, so go to the Dr. & tell him to do a mumps test & said no need you'll get over it. So she went to a pediatrician, yes I said pediatrician. Our Daughter worked for him & he said he would be more than happy to do the test. A couple of days later the results came back. She had the mumps. Can't believe a Dr. didn't know she had this, it's so fundamental that he should of known this his first week in medical school. So I can believe everyone of these stories or nightmares that everyone talked about!

Mumps is usually not serious. Did the doctor tell your wife it was a clogged parotid salivary gland?
I have never heard of a doctor telling anyone they are crazy, not even a psychiatrist. Overstatement makes others skeptical.
