I am probably jumping the gun ... but here goes

Can you get mumps on only one side and can you get it without having a fever??????????

I have been feeling "offish" lately (two days) and this morning I woke up feeling thick in the skull and with a faint sore throat. I wanted to take some panadol, but forgot NOW I have an extreamly sore throat and it's worse when I yawn (don't ask) and sore when I swallow. I have tired to see if it's swollen, but the light in the bathroom sucks, so I can't really see anything. And I feel only mild swelling on the outside.

Could mumps be dangerous in pregnancy????? I have not taken any medication and I don't want to for the off chance that I might already be pg. (you know, high hopes )
