Sialadenitis: Hello, there are salivary glands in the areas you described. The submandibular gland is under the front sides of your jaw. The submandibular duct and sublingual glands lie in your floor of mouth under your tongue. The ducts can get blocked from inflammation or stone, you can have severe pain, especially right after starting a meal. Your history of Hashimoto's increases risk of glandular disease.
