Hello,,
Pain at the salivary gland region may be a parotid gland infection or cervical lymph node enlargement or acid reflux or mums. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Drink hot water regularly and avoid cool drinks and ice creams.
Use tablet amoxicillin and clavulinic acid 625mg twice a day for five days. If there is no improvement, please consult with your ENT specialist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
