If you have mumps the symptoms come 14-21 days after exposure (the incubation period). It begins with fever, shivers, tiredness and painful swelling of the parotid glands on one or both sides. It can be tender or painful to open your mouth, talk, eat and drink. Children may have earache or abdominal pain. But sometimes symptoms are so minimal that the infection goes unnoticed.
