Experiencing Swelling & Hardness In The Gland
A few times my left gland has become swollen and hard. This morning after drinking my coffee my gland starting to feel weird. Almost like I ate sour candy but I didn't.
I had lunch, burger with ketchup, then the gland got real big and hard. It's not swollen now but the gland feels sore now.

Hi! I have gone through your query.
The swelling can be a sialolith (stone) present in any one of the major salivary gland. The size typically increases after food intake. Please check with your physician. Sialogram will confirm the position .
Hope this helps.
