Bit of Mumps Going Around

Not sure how useful this maybe, but there is a bit of mumps going around.

Daughter and myself both got it ATM. She says that a few kids at school had it recently.

I look like Brando's Godfather character with really swollen cheeks.

Just sayin.

Well grown up men can get them in the testicles too.

Sorry to hear that - be careful with that one mate, not as easy for adults as it is for kids.

Yep, got all the other symptoms bar that one ATM.

Thanks. Pretty wasted physically so far but hanging in there. Not quite sure what the night will bring - last night was pretty crap trying to sleep. Got up this morning for a whiz and scared myself when I looked in the mirror.

Cheers SC!

I looked at the Mayo Clinic site earlier today, don't think it was as comprehensive as that but the noggin isn't quite at full speed today.

It's weird, I usually sweat heaps on days like today but hardly felt it today despite keeping well hydrated.

Fever only about 1 degree C above normal so far.

Nothing on a dose of Dengue so far, but I don't want to tempt fate.

Fluids (electrolyte, not alcohol) and about three to five days of bed rest, and manage the pain.

Is there a brand name for electrolyte that I should get here? Buy from pharmacy?

Crap night no 2. Just can't sleep.

No, the drink sachets you can get at most minimarts are fine

Royal-D. Available at most pharmacies and some mini-marts.

The orange one is more of a vitamin C drink.
The purple one is the electrolyte one. But, both are good to keep your hydrated.
