A member asked:
What could it be that every time i eat or drink something, the gland along the right side of my jaw (under my ear) swells up and gets hard?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See oral surgeon: Your likely have blockage of the saliva producing gland, parotid gland. The parotid gland is a major salivary gland in humans located in each cheek over the jaw in front of the ears. Blockage of saliva flow in the parotid gland is most often caused by a stone trapped in the salivary duct. See oral surgeon for evaluation, x-rays and treatment.
