More info needed: Without more information, it is impossible to determine exactly what ails you. You really should be examined by both a physician and dentist.

Respectfully: With all due respect to Dr. Mom, an accurate diagnosis requires examination by a trained practitioner. We’re you inoculated for Mumps? If so, it's not mumps. See your MD/DO to be sure. Also see your Dentist to evaluate for abscess, a severe infection that can damage other organ systems.
