What Causes Mastitis And Reoccurring Blocked Salivary Gland In Mouth?

I am a 33 year old female who has had mastitis twice in about a 2 month period. I also now have a reoccuing blocked salivary gland in my mouth ( this jas been over a period of about 4 or 5 months. I also had a girlfriend who mentioned I might be anemic after viewing a bruise that was still as big, blue, yellow and green as it was 10 days after I got it. I was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis when I was younger. Grew out of it but have since been having joint pain pain slightly again when bad weather is heading our way. Anyway, saw sjorone syndrome on the Internet. Any red flags as to if you think I should get blood work or see a professional? Are these just random occurrences or problems that are pieces of a bigger picture. I also have prorisis? Sorry to overload you with information.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The blocked salivary gland can be secondary to the stone in the salivary glad duct. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to get an ultrasound and MRI done to confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed it can be treated by surgery.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
