What are the symptoms of swollen salivary glands?

Why?: I am not sure that i understand your question or why you are asking it. There are many salivary glands in your head and mouth, both large and small. If they are swollen, they would be larger than normal. I am not sure if you feel enlarged salivary glands or perhaps swollen lymph nodes which are very different. Please either give us more information or see your physician or an oral surgeon.

Cheek/chin swelling: Major salivary glands are located at near your cheeks, under your tongue, and under your lower jaw. Swelling in these areas could be from salivary glands. Swollen salivary glands can be result of a blocked salivary duct, infection, or tumor. If there is a blocked duct, the swelling may come and go when eating. Pain may be present in all 3.
