Hi
With your query, usually parotid gland swelling is due to vial infections and it is contagious but in your case you have mentioned you see less saliva which means there are chances of a caluculi in the parotid duct where you feel pain during the food coz of collection of saliva.Kindly visit your oral physician for the needful treatment.
