Hello,

Parotid gland swelling can arise due to multiple causes, most common of which can be viral or bacterial. Your doctor has prescribed you with an antibiotic, antacid and an inflammatory medicine in addition to zinc supplements.
Your doctor has followed the correct line of management.

Please continue the medication.

Meanwhile, I would also suggest you to do the following:
- Drink plenty of water.
- Warm compress of the area.
- Chew on something that is both sour and sweet, to increase the flow of the saliva. This will help to clear any blocked ducts in the salivary gland.
- Massage gently from back to front to increase the drainage.

This should resolve in a week's time. I hope this helps. Please feel free to discuss further.
