Mumps in males can also cause a painful inflammation of the testicles that can last from a week to 10 days. The swelling in the face will remain for a week, and the individual will be recovered from mumps in 10 to 12 days.n a fifth of all mumps cases there is no swelling of the parotid glands. A fever of up to 103 degrees is possible, as is a headache and a lack of appetite.
