Patient: hello sir, i m 29 yrs old male & i feel slightly pain in my lower neck (submandibular gland) while i eat , my lower neck(submandibular gland left side) swells when i eat & after meal it goes away. what can be the causes of this? only during meal time it happens. Doctor: Hello,I read carefully your query and understand your concern. Your symptoms seem to be related to swollen salivary glands.I suggest:- massaging the affected gland. -applying warm compresses to the affected gland. -rinsing your mouth with warm salt water. -sucking on sour lemons or sugar-free lemon candy to encourage saliva flow and reduce swelling.If the symptoms continue, I suggest to see an ENT specialist. Hope my answer was helpful.If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.Kind regards! Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician
