What Are The Precautions That Needs To Be Taken For Mumps?

Hi,
I was with someone over the weekend who goes to a college that recently has been infected with mumps. I am very tired and feel very weak and have a sore throat, but was also just skiing and with someone else who also had a sore throat. I am also just coming back from a break which could account for being tired. Please let me know if having mumps is something i should look into?
Thank you!
