Hello,

He is having mumps as per the symptoms described and all features coincide with the diagnosis of mumps.

For fever and pain, tab paracetamol may be used. He needs rest and plenty of fluids. His sugar level may increase in all infections so he should be careful with sugar level.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
