Swelling Of Gland And Small Nodules In Cheek And Left Ear With Food Intake. Any Ideas?
For several days I have a gland in the left cheek of my mouth that swells up as soon as I begin to eat. Also at the same time a gland under my left ear swells as if I had mumps.. In the beginning the gland under the ear got pretty swollen but since then it is now just a very small nodule.. Once I am through eating it only takes about 15 minutes when the symptems subside...

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
It is typical symptoms of parotid gland pathology the chances of viral infection need to be rule out second the salivary duct block may be there, that is also be taken into consideration, If I would be your doctor then I would certainly ask for ENT opinion, have nice day.

Hello
this swelling is of salivary gland.
When we eat The salivary gland gets stimulated and secretes saliva which goes inside The mouth through the salivary duct. If there is blockage in The duct The saliva could not pass and The gland increases in size .there can be stone obstructing The path .You should Consult your ENT specialist for diagnosis.
