If its surely mumps then it will take time as it is a viral infection of salivary glands. Actually its more common in younger age group so I don't think its mumps you are suffering. Kindly check for erupting wisdom teeth on both sides.

Sir, mumps actually is a viral infection like cold or flu, there is particularly no medicine for mumps, it improves within a week u just take paracetamol if u have fever or pain & for swelling no need to take any medicine just apply heat pack over the swelled area, drink plenty of water

If you have been already diagnosed with Mumps then you have to pull through with this. Mumps is a viral infection of the parotid salivary gland (saliva secreting glands on the cheeks). It is known to be a very painful condition as the gland is encased in a tissue capsule and it does not allow sufficient swelling due to which it causes excruciating pain. Like all viral diseases even this has a cycle and what you are going through is an acute phase, the whole cycle lasts for about 7-8 days and then you should see that the condition starts improving. I suggest you to take some antiviral drugs in accordance with the prescription of your doctor and some good pain killers to get you through this phase. Hang in there buddy it will get better. Jus give it some time!
