Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, 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 child Chat Doctor. 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 (augmenting duo),painkillers, 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 medicine mouth wash, to help maintain oral hygiene. Consult your family physician or ENT specialist for complete treatment. Thanks and regards,
