Hello,

As per your complaint, sialadenitis is an infection of the salivary gland and commonly occurs due to obstruction of the duct of the gland with salivary stone. It can also be due to reducing saliva flow. Hydration and massage is a good choice but for reducing infection. You need to consult an oral physician or an oral surgeon and get evaluated. You need to take a course of antibiotics and along with it. To improve saliva flow chew sugar-free chewing gums and suck lemon drops. Drink plenty of water.


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

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
