I have bad headaches that start w/ parotid gland swelling/pain & develop quickly. they go away after 2 hours or so. what is the connection? cause?

If sure its Parotid: If the parotid gland intermittently swells and then resolves, especially if swells when seeing food, it is quite diagnostic for an obstruction in or more likely in the glands duct, called stenson's duct. It is called commonly a sialolith. Good luck!
