Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain Mumps Parotitis is viral infection of the Parotid glands that is a pair of major salivary glands and as you have pain in neck and swelling on cheeks on both side it is due to infection only..
As it is a viral infection it will run its course and will be highly symptomatic and painful for 5 to 7 days and then gradually the infection will start resolving.
Antibiotics will not resolve the infection as they can fight only bacterial infection and not viral..
You can continue taking the medications given to her by the treating doctor, do alternate warm and cool compresses over the cheeks and take ample of fluids..
Take sufficient rest..
Take a soft diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
