What Causes Swelling Of Parathyroid Gland On Eating Certain Foods?

The parotid gland swells immediately upon eating certain foods. Usually on the left side, sometimes both. Is this serious? My first occurrence was upon drinking a margarita. I thought it was the lime I was reacting to. But last night it was beef and broccoli, this morning bacon and egg, this afternoon a chocolate chip cookie.
