Can an adult can get mumps if he or she already had them as a child?

yes you can...\nOnly one serotype of mumps virus exists. In general, natural infection confers lifelong protection against the virus, but recurrent mumps attacks have been reported.

Yes definietly, if you let the cavaties get too big they could start to affect the gums, which don't change into adulthood. Leaving the cavaties there might also cause great pain and discomfort to your child and you wouldn't want to do that...

All of the above, plus, if you care about your kids friends (and it's okay with their folks) junior should go play with them a few hours so they get it too.  Once you've had it once, it's very rare to get it again, and chicken pox as an adult is a nightmare.  My poor lovely wife got it, and we laughed and we laughed, but it was apparently very serious.\n\nAveeno/oatmeal/calamine all sound like good ideas for the poor thing...\n\ngood luck!

I heard in the news that half of the infected people were vaccinated.  It was an interview with some public health offical on NPR.  He was saying that because of this outbreak, it may be necessary to reevaluate the effectiveness of the mumps vaccine.

Vaccines give only about 80% protection, not 100%. There is still a 20% chance of getting the disease. Mumps is self- limited, lasting about 8 or 10 days. There is no specific treatment. Give paracetamol for fever and give soft food.

In cases without complications, mumps is treated with bed rest and care at home.\n\nHome treatment includes medicines you can buy without a prescription to relieve pain and reduce fever. Acetaminophen (for example, Tylenol) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (for example, Advil, Motrin, Aleve) are often used. Do not give aspirin to anyone younger than 20 because of its link to a rare but serious illness called Reye's syndrome.\n\nComplications may require treatment in the hospital. Medications to relieve pain associated with orchitis, meningitis, pancreatitis, and other complications may be given. Treatment with other medications, such as interferon for severe orchitis, is experimental. Antibiotics are not given to treat mumps or other viral infections.

1st Strep is Bacterial not viral and that's why you don't get immunity and you have to take Anti-biotic.  Your body can fight strep off by itself but the danger is it can recede into your joints and cause problems there.  So you may think it's gone and it's quietly damaging your body.  \n2nd I was told by my doctor that strep is actually something we carry in our bodies all the time.  This makes it easy to come down with a strep infection.\n\n3rd Kid's get it more then adults for a few reasons.  One is that schools are breeding grounds for communal disease.  By the time one child realizes they even have strep it's most likely been shared with 20 or more other kids.  Now not all 20 will get strep but a few will and they in turn will spread to others.  With adults you tend to have less close interaction with other adults daily.

I'm not sure that you can.  Have you seen a gastroenterologist about this?  I have a friend who was very sick from this & she had to moderate her diet & has to be very careful of what she eats.  My gastro was checking for this & found that my B-12 was deficient.

If you mean how is it diagnoses, then the same as normal.\n\nIf you mean, how because he is an adult, you can get it just as any other illness.  If he has a weak immune system he can get it even if he had it as a child.  Many people have the bacteria in their bodies, and only when they are weakeneded does it cause problems.\n\nI know people that get  group A strep can get NECROTIZING FASCIITIS, also known as the flesh eating bacteria.  With group B a slightly different bacterium is responsible, and can be detected via culture.\n\n"Group B streptococcus (group B strep) is a bacterium that causes life-threatening infections in newborn infants. Group B strep can also cause serious diseases in pregnant women, the elderly, and adults with other illnesses. The letter "B" refers to a classification of bacteria in the genus Streptococcus according to the makeup of the organism's cell wall."

you will have to give more details. like how old are you? do you get them at certain times? or after eating certain things etc.

No, while men are subject to infertility due to mumps women are not.

No you don't need another one, once you've got antibodies against Rubella you always have them.  if you're concerned thoough you can ask you doctor to do a blood test to screen for the antibodies, then you'll know for sure whether or not you'd need the vaccination.

You should see an endocrinologist.  I doubt that it is cancer, but something glandular is going on?  Are the lymph nodes in your armpits swollen also?\n\nAlso, are you male or female?  Can you clench your teeth?\n\nYou should definitely see at doctor soon.  I think you're a bit young for hodgkins or any other lymphoma.  But it could be something serious (but curable).  Plus, hopefully you've had a mumps vaccination.  This is a symptom of mumps but if you were vaccinated when you were a child you will be protected from this.  However, there is an outbreak of mumps recently, so make sure you check whether you have received it or not. \n\nIf your doctor won't see you today or soon, you should probably see another doctor.  Even at 17, you have to take charge of your own health and well-being.

Sometimes, the muscle just didn't mature yet.  My son had an 'innocent' murmur as a toddler, now as a teen, it is no longer detected.

I WOULD FIND A NEW DOCTOR I AM NOT SAYING ANYTHING IS WRONG BUT IF SHE SHOWS NO CONCERN SHE MUST NOT BE TO GOOD COULD MAYBE BE THE MUMPS

yes i have never heard anyone having to get re-vaccinated against diseases like mumps regardless of what timescale it was done
