Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to swollen salivary glands.
I suggest:
- massaging the affected gland.
-applying warm compresses to the affected gland.
-rinsing your mouth with warm salt water.
-sucking on sour lemons or sugar-free lemon candy to encourage saliva flow and reduce swelling.
If the symptoms continue, I suggest to see an ENT specialist.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
