Hello I am suffering for mumps for the past 5 days and taking the medicines. I had high fever, body pain, vomiting and headache on first day, but now I am fine but still swelling is there. My question is how long it will take to cure completely since I need to attend a function tomorrow.

Mumps virus is 7-18 days, and on an average is around 10 days after the exposure. One out of three people suffering from mumps do not experience any symptoms at all. Mumps is a very common its better to consult doctor.
