Parotid infections are mostly viral so no role of antibiotics as such. Only paracetamol 100 mg 3 times daily will help.

There is a treatment in homoeopathy.
Successful or not it depends on the patient and the progress of the disease.

Hello, I am an 18 years old female. One month ago I noticed that my salivary gland under my jaw was swollen, it was like a ball under my left jaw. I didn't do anything about it until after two weeks I started not feeling well and it felt uncomfortable when I slept at that side, my temperature also got high. So I went to the doctor and she told me that my salivary gland was infected, she prescribed an antibiotic to me and I started using it. I didn't feel like it worked and I actually got a little bit worse, I kinda lost the ability to taste food and I felt bad every day. I went to another doctor and she prescribed a stronger antibiotic and other two medications, one was for temperature and the other was something anti bacteria (because I told her that I had a surgery done in my gums two months ago). This time the medication really helped me, the swelling reduced a lot and my ability to taste food was back and everything went away. However now after two weeks from finishing using the medications, I noticed that my salivary gland swelled again and my ability to taste is also, I don't know how to describe it, it's like a bad taste in my mouth. I want to know should I be worried about this? My father said it could be cancer and I freaked out.

For a Parotid lesion, I usually get an FNAC and an ultrasound done. If its a large swelling, I ask for an MRI, to know the characteristics of the lesion i.e. Benign or cancerous. Sometimes it is difficult to rule out cancer even after FNAC and MRI. Hence surgery is recommended for most cases.
Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common tumor of the parotid, which is benign, but malignant transformation to carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma is seen in some cases, hence surgery is recommended in all ...more

Hypoechoic lesion in parotid needs to be evaluated with careful history and clinical examination of lesion. If suspicious then an fnac resolves the issue. The surgery needs to be planned after fnac result.

Unfortunately for parotid gland swelling (a benign tumor Pleomorphic Adenoma) surgery is the only option. These swelling have high recurrence rate. Disfiguring face, visible swelling are the reasons patients seek treatment, otherwise they are painless and trouble free.

It will cure the disease but who knows how many more nodes or org...more
