What Are The Symptoms For Clogged Saliva Glands?

I have an unexplained brusing on my left side of my jaw next to my ear, below the hairline. Last week I woke up one morning feeling a little sore, I thought my left lymnode was swollen. It felt & looked the same like my right side, but felt sore when i touched. Three days later i noticed the bruise started to appear next to the side of my left ear. The bruise has gotten lighter after 4-5 days, so is the pain. I had my dentist checked it out & he didn't find anything wrong. He said probably my one of my saliva glands was clogged. Should I see a doctor about my condition? Thank you,

Hi
With your query, if salivary gland duct clogs or blocked whenever you eat something there will be increase in salivary production and the pain increases while eating. I hope you don't smoke because sometimes in smokers usually get affected with viral parotitis and they need complete antibiotic coverage so if your dentist says nothing wrong he can see u suggest you visit ENT specialist without delay. Hope thus is helpful
