Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic. If doctor has advised surgery for a swollen salivary gland, it means there , might be a salivary gland stone present in the gland, which the dentist wants to remove. So there is nothing to worry about it as it is small surgery and you will be fine after a week. Hope it will help you.
