A member asked:
Is it possible to get mumps twice and in less then 2 weeks on different sides of the cheeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As answered previously: Once a person gets mumps they are usually protected for life. However, in a case of mumps, often the swelling on one side can be delayed. So likely this is just one prolonged case of mumps.
