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.

Most probably you have infection of parotid glands which has inflamed and it has got blocked due to it. And hence it gets enlarged. You require detailed examination and treatment for the same. It may not be due food
