Infection?: Not clear whether the swelling is in midline or one side. Salivary glands in the neck can be inflammed , commonly by bacteria, sometimes viruses like mumps , though less common in adults . Sometimes the enlarged lymphnodes in that area can mimic saliv.Y glands. Also in addition to infection , stones in the ducts of saliv. Glands can make the swel lings, which appear big after eating.

A member asked:
I feel large lumps on both sides of my neck, under my jaw. I'd say they are about an inch or so wide. Could those be my submandibular salivary glands? They don't really move. They are not hard, but not squishy either. They don't feel like lymphnodes?
