Swollen Parotid Gland Posted: 11-21-07 04:27am
I have had a problem with my parotid
glands on both sides swelling when i eat
or drink, i have had this disorder for
many years, however, during the last 12
months or so, it is occurring more
frequently, sometimes every day for 4 - 5
days then maybe nothing for a couple of
days then it will happen again, it is
extremely painful
I have had a sialogram and it showed no
stones or blockages and no tumors were
present.
I have also visited an oral surgeon who
decided to place a probe into the duct to
hopefully stretch it open more, however,
this did not work, a couple of hours after
this procedure it swelled again,
My brother and mother also suffered from
this condition, but not as severe as mine
