What Is The Remedy For A Suspected Saliva Gland Obstruction?
I think I have a saliva gland obstruction or infection. First I thought I had a tooth problem and this afternoon I went to my Dentist who confirm no issue. I will go to my doctor tomorrow. However what can I do in the meantime.
When I eat food I get a pain in my jaw area. This started this morning. I do not have any neck swelling. I do have a cold at its final stages.

hi
thank you for consulting HCM
salivary gland obstruction can be of various type. dont worry bout that. it can only be confirm by through check up.
you should visit your dentist and get full mouth check up. if the pain is severe then meanwhile you can have pain killer.

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM
If you are having pain while chewing in jaw area then there can be two possibilities
- First it can be possible that definitely you are having a salivary gland infection and which is causing this problem, but to confirm it you have to get an x-ray done of the gland.
-Second it can be possible that you are having a Temporomadibular disorder (disorder of the joints of the jaws), in this condition also you have to get an x-ray of the joint.
Better you should visit a good dentist to get it properly examined and treated.
Thank you
Regards
