Having MUMPS during EXAM..

I brought mumps at the resto

Yesterday, I had a hard time answering my exam in Physiology because of my mumps. I was lost in mind and all that I've studied last night flushed out. I also got a fever that's why I rushed to answer all the items in the exam without reviewing it. I was so helpless!

As I'm writing this, the inflammation on my parotid gland got worse. When I eat something, it hurts. I even cried yesterday because of the pain it brought to me. I was also advised to take out my retainers for a while and eat porridge to prevent pain.

Having mumps during exam is not good. I think you'll be advised to take a rest and take special exams later but for my case, I didn't tell anyone about it until my friend noticed the swelling. As I've searched in the internet the only medication that we can have is the ice treatment. Also elders recommended ANIEL soaked with vinegar to be applied on the swelled portion.
