I believe i am suffering from parotid gland swelling it's very painful and noticeably swollen. i have no cold or flue symptoms. should i go to er?

Yes, you should: get to a doctor because it could be parotitis or stone in Swensen's duct, especially if it is very painful. It could also be inflamed lymph node. Either way, you might need antibiotics to get better.
