See Oral Surgeon: See an oral surgeon for an exam and consultation. You may have an inflammation or infection in your salivary glands or a sialolith (salivary gland stone). The oral surgeon may either treat you or refer you to a physician for further evaluation.

Ear, nose, throat : This is something that should be evaluated by your primary care physician and will likely involve treatment with antibiotics if it is determined to be simple. You may also need to be seen by an ear, nose, and throat specialist. It is very important to have it fully evaluated so as not to overlook a potentially complicated problem.
