What are the mumps symptoms? My dd has a bump behind her ear that's not very big but you can feel and see it. Should I wait till morning or call dr. now?

I don't know the exact symptoms of mumps but what you're describing sounds like an enlarged lymph node to me, she could be fighting any sort of infection: cold, ear infection etc, including mumps yes.

Yes, one of the symptoms of mumps is swelling and pain of the salivary glands which is under the ears. Definitely ask a doctor.

the bump behind the ear is usually the first symptom, you can definitly wait till tommorow to call dr as there is nothing they can do to it. If it is mumps it will probably be alot bigger by the morning.

Difficulty swallowing due to pain on the sides. Fever sometimes comes out later.
