I have been having an issue with my cheek and possibly parotid gland. My cheek feels like it could have a canchor sore internally under the cheek bone. If I rub it slightly it aggravates it and then when I eat under my jaw swells up quite noticeably but goes down within the hour or so. I am on my 10th day of antibiotics and feel like the issue is still there. Any idea what it might be. It s been about 3 weeks
Hi, It can be due to stones or inflammation in your salivary gland also known as sialadenitis. You can consult a general surgeon and get evaluated. You have to take an ultrasound scan for further assessment. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
