Hello!
Thank you for the query.
It sounds like salivary gland inflammation. It may be caused by a stone in salivary ducts for example. Especially if he has also pain while swallowing. Tooth inflammation is also possible.
For sure he needs to see a doctor as soon as possible. Please note that any infection in the face area can spread to the brain. That is why immediate treatment is advisable.
Please consult your doctor as soon as possible.
Hope this will help.
Regards.
