My 7 year old son woke up in the morning with a swollen face. I rushed him to the ER and they diagnosed with viral parotitis and ruled out mumps due to the fact he has had both immunizations (MMR). No blood test was done. I followed up with primary care doc the following day and they too agreed with the viral parotitis diagnostic. No tests were done. The following day he woke up with a rash all over body. Their are bumps spiratic all over his body (not a lot but bumps but all over here and there) some are small with a whitehead and some are just red. Under both of his armpits are covered in large red bumps under the skin (dime or nickel sized). I m taking him to the doctor again tomorrow. Do you agree with the viral parotitis diagnostic even considering the rash? Why aren t they doing a blood test or virus test? I m concerned about something more serious like meningitis etc.) He is healthy, no allergies, and hasnt been sick much in his life (other than 2 ear tubes surgeries from repeat ear infections). Thank you, Concerned Mother
