                        My son is 21 yr. old.  He has had a fever, up to  103.  His lymph nodes are very hard and enlarged.  There is a swelling between in jaw and ear on one side.  Could this be the mumps?  He says the swelling is not painful.   I am concerned, also, for his wife and baby.  She may be only 2-4 weeks pregnant.  I am waiting to be a ble to contact the dr., hoping she will see him right away.  How do they know if it is or is not mumps as opposed to it being something else?
