I am suffering from mumps from last three four days. Initially I thought it would be a normal cold pain but after few hours litter swelling appeared beneath right ear. Now no pain but swelled below jaw. Do mumps really pose any serious threat because I read on internet that it will disappear itself in3 to5 days.
