Thanks for your query.
If I were the treating physician,I would suggest you for not to travel and to take rest for 5 days after the appearance of swelling.During this time mumps virus can spread to susceptible persons.
It is good to hear that you are feeling better.Do not worry about your swelling.It may last about 10 days.You may apply warm pack over the swollen gland which may be helpful.
Hope this answers your query.
Wish you good health.
