Hello,
Welcome to health care magic,

First thing i would like to know is who diagnosed it as mumps?

Because it is rare for a person to get mumps at this age , since it is common in children.It might have occurred due to some infection of unknown source but it is not the bothersome thing.

I would like to know your symptoms and if there is swelling or not and if it is so then on one side or both?

If it is mumps , then you don't have to worry and you should take medications like antibiotics (augmentin duo),pain killers,anti-inflammatory and antihistamines and it will take generally 7-10 days for the swelling to subside.

Also,do not worry about its complications as it can be cured with appropriate medications.

You can take a normal diet with lots of fluids but just to avoid sour food like lemon etc.

You can also use a hexidine mouth wash , to help maintain oral hygiene.

Consult your family physician or ENT specialist for complete treatment.

Thanks and regards,
