Face Swollen On Right Side Along The Jaw Line. Treatment?
My name is Reuben Turner and I my face is swollen on the right side along the jaw line. I just read information on the salivary glands. What would be the treatment for this? There is very little pain, if any at all. I've notice this for the past couple of weeks now. Making appt to see the Ears, Nose and Throat specialist.

Hi,
From history it appears that you might be having some problem in your salivary gland of right side.
If swelling increases during eating or chewing the food then there might be having some blockage in salivary duct due infection to or having stone in the duct.
Some time in parotitis (mumps ) there might be having unilateral swelling.
Consult WNT surgeon and get examined.
After proper diagnosis treatment can be done.
Ok and take care.
