My boyfriend has swollen glands everyday and it has been causing him a lot of discomfort lately. Both sides swell underneth his jawbones, and he feels what he descirbes as "tingles" in the area, under his tounge and behind his ears in the tender spot near the lobe, his mouth goes dry and it's hard to swallow, as though he can't get any wetness into his throat, when he does swallow harshly he can bring up saliva and blood. This ussually happens when he is about to eat or drink something (which is why I think it's saliva glands) He leads a very healthy lifestyle, however his weight can change fast. Do you have any idea what could be causing this? Thanks tiazeus
