Hello and welcome to HCM,
I guess you mean swollen salivary glands.
Swollen painful salivary glands can occur in case of infection of the salivary glands, sialolithiasis (stone in salivary gland duct), sialoadenosis, sialadenitis, etc.
You need to get an aspiration of the swollen glands.
In this test the cells of the swelling are aspirated with a thin needle.
The cells are spread and stained.
After studying the sells the origin and nature of the lesion is determined.
Appropriate treatment can be instituted after making a diagnosis.
Thanks and take care
