Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Fever 5 days later to mumps can be due to some other illness. May be your doctor is suspecting urine infection and correlating with other symptoms like increased frequency of urination, burning urination, vomiting and back ache.

If such things are not present then first go for blood and malaria test if normal then proceed to urine test. Until final diagnosis is made, control fever with Brufen or Calpol.

I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Dr. Hina Javed
