How To Treat Enlarged Salivary Gland?

My poodle has had a blocked salivary gland for over a year and has been fine. Yesterday it seems to have enlarged and my dog isn't eating or drinking besides what I'm putting in her mouth with a medicine dropper. I have also see that she has a mucus type saliva coming out of the side of her mouth that is swoolen.
