Mumps is a viral infection which is self limiting. Many of us in 30s had it during childhood. Now it is rare due to use of MMR vaccine. Treatment is supportive only, means lots of fluids, paracetamol for fever, pain killers for pain (topnac p) and watchful waiting for any new symptoms. Antibiotics are only indicated for secondary infections, but many doctors use prophylactically.
