What Causes Recurrent Swelling Of The Salivary Glands?
Hi, I have had recurrent swelling of the salivary glands for the last 3 months. ANA bloodwork normal, CT with contrast normal, Virus tests (e.g. mups etc) normal. I think it s related to diet/intestinal. Low iron and mild anemia as a result (my hemoglobin has always low even when I have high iron). Any ideas?

Hello
Thanks for consulting HCM
Read your query as you have recurrent swelling of salivary gland this can be due to infection or due to blockage of salivary gland .
For this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for examination of gland swelling if needed go for investigations like sialography .
Hope this will help you.
