General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be related to swollen salivary glands.
I suggest:
- massaging the affected gland.
-applying warm compresses to the affected gland.
-rinsing your mouth with warm salt water.
-sucking on sour lemons or sugar-free lemon candy to encourage saliva flow and reduce swelling.
If the symptoms continue, I suggest to see an ENT specialist.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
