Is this a mumps?

Mumps is a contagious that is spread from person to person. I was reading in Wikipedia that "mumps can also be spread by sharing food and drinks. The virus can also survive on surfaces and then be spread after contact in a similar manner. A person infected with mumps is contagious from approximately 6 days before the onset of symptoms until about 9 days after symptoms start." Reading there I see that some symptoms include swelling, local pain, fever, and headache. You can read more here, but definitely best to consult your doctor as the doctor is the only one who can diagnose and if in fact it is best to do so right away as the older one is the likely there are complications: (Not a referral link) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumps
