What Causes Swelling And Shrinking Of The Right Sub Mandibular Gland?
My right submandibular gland swells and shrinks every day - often worst when I wake up and then basically gone by noon, often reappears in the evening. (Maybe I'm allergic to my house!) First noticed symptoms near the end of a three week bout with seasonal asthma. Has continued for several weeks.

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query, the repeated swelling of the gland could be because of the salivary gland stone which aggravates or blocks the salivary flow when the salivary gland is stimulated by food. consult your oral physician and take radiographs like occlusal radiograph to rule out stone. if it is there you have to get it removed since it might cause infection repeatedly. i hope my answer will help you. take care
