Dear mphiri59
Hello i am Dr Raivinder Sharma ENT surgeon. It appears that you are suffering from a viral infection of parotid salivary gland. It is aslo called as MUMPS. However there can be other causes too. I advise you to
1. Consult a ENT surgeon
2. Rest
3. Avoid contact with the others in the family as least for the next 5 to 7 days as this is a communicable disease.
I hope this answers your concern. Do let me knoe if I can help you further
with regards
Ravinder Sharma
