Infection: More information of the history of the swollen salivary glands is needed. You may have an infection like sialadinitis. An MRI of the salivary glands will be helpful.

Inflammation: The salivary glands can be swollen due to inflammation. Have you ruled out bacterial or viral infections? Also dryness tends to cause inflammation. Several products are available to keep your mouth moist. The easiest way to improve dryness is drinking water.
