Vaccinate: The real remedy is to not get the disease at all. The vaccine can prevent one from getting mumps and is quite effective and safe.

The Answer is NO!: Mumps is untreatable by any medicine or home remedies. Like most viral illnesses, it runs its course, hoping there are no serious complications.
