Mumps.Swelling below and around left ear

Question

Asked for Male, 24 Years

There is inflammation on left side of my cheek below and around the ear. My friend is having mumps and i was in contact with him so i guess i was infected as well. In his case it pained a lot more, but in my case It doesn't pain that much but it pains a little while chewing food. The inflammation is from three days. The region below and around the ear feels hard on touching. I had mild fever for 2 days but today there is no fever. What medicine should i take to reduce the inflammation and slight pain while chewing. How much time will it take to heal?
