 Posted: 06/15/05 - 01:56 Post subject: Swollen salivary glands...again? |
  |
|
I had "blocked" salivary glands (they got huge) a couple of months ago, took antibiotics, etc. and everything was ok. But soon after, I'm looking like I have a little double chin -- the swelling came back a bit. My mouth isn't noticeably dry...so I wonder could be causing the swelling...
Any ideas? |

Swollen salivary glands or even any other glands (lymph nodes), are the warning sent from your body. It means that you have a kind of inflammation or infection in that area and those glands are hyperactive.
This symptom is shown in many different disorders and diseases like:
- Sjögren's syndrome (furthermore you have symptoms like, dry mouth, eyes, lungs, throat, joint pain, etc).
- Acute bacterial infection
- Sialolithiasis (salivary duct stones)
- Ductal stenosis
Also this could be totally different diagnosis, therefore I suggest you to make appointment with your doctor to get more precise info. |

|
|
| I find my salivary gland swelling pain relief is general "Tylonal." Two 500 mg capsules and 10 minutes later, the pain is tolerable. I attribute decaf coffee as the trigger this time. In fact, it's a good idea to stay away from coffee for everybody! You really don't need it. Coffee is really a drug that hasn't been regulated because the coffee mfr lobby is very powerful. |

| I had a swollen salivary gland on my right side of the mouth. I thought it was simply where I had bitten my cheek in the night. Luckily, I had a dentist appointment that week and asked him about the swollen flap of skin on my mouth. he immediately told me it was a swollen saliva gland and that it was nothing to be alarmed about. He said its common and that it usually works itself out in a few days. |
