You might be suffering from acute viral upper respiratory tract infection and parotitis and tonsillitis may be part of the same viral infection. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers along with antiseptic mouth gargle for few days
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
