hi.
it is best if you consult with a doctor for examination. based from your description, it could be mumps. if upon clinical examination, and it is indeed mumps, it will resolve spontaneously. just take pain relievers after eating as needed. if it is a lesion or a lump, further diagnostic evaluation and management will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
