Can mumps leave a smaller lump permanently?

Posted , 2 users are following.

i noticed a hard lump under my jaw and i thought it was mumps. After a couple of days, it shrinks smaller. It's been almost two months now but it's still there. Should I be worried?

    Keep checking for signs and evaluate what you are doing to cause the bump to go down.
