Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Salivary gland infection usually presents with swelling near the jaw. Your blood reports definitely suggest an infection. I suggest you get a prescription for antibiotics for a week to 10 days. If the swelling does not reduce after antibiotic therapy, then further testing may be required. You might have to undergo a biopsy of the swelling.

Thanks.
