I've been told i have mumps on monday. since then my neck is more swollen however my temperature has gone. im unable to eat when will my neck go down?

Doesn't sound like m: Mumps is usually swelling of the parotid glands, not the neck. You may have a throat infection or swollen glands from mononucleosis. Appropriate cultures and blood tests would be helpful.
