over two weeks ago I was diagnosed with an infection in my salivary gland, I took my antibiotics as prescribed but it didnt work went back got a stronger antibiotic yet the gland seems more swollen, how long can it wait till I see a doctor as my family physician is on holidays.  is there poison in there that can seep into my mouth or other parts of my body and harm me?
Thanks for asking in Chat Doctor forum I understand your concern. Infection of parotid gland may be due to mumps virus and if infection is of other salivary glands, oral antibiotics may be required for complete healing. No poison can seep into your mouth by this. Please visit your doctor/any doctor at the earliest before it forms pus. All the best.
