Hi, doctor regards!
If parotid is involved the fascia surrounding the fascia will cause very severe pain as it does not allow swelling to expand and stays in confined area. Another thing what are the probable causes that also leads us to pain management part. if it's because of salivary calculus than our modality differs as its because of secondary infection if pain is there.
Often the pain is intensified with eating in that food ingestion stimulates saliva flow, which will typically cause the gland to swell and thus exacerbate the preexisting symptoms. Acute inflammatory processes largely fall into bacterial, viral, and autoimmune states. In chronic gland disorder, the symptoms are similar, although much less intense. In the inflammatory conditions, the gland is not so much a target of bacterial or viral processes but is inflamed by antibodies directed against salivary gland tissues.
Initial treatment should include rehydration, the improved oral antistaphylococcal antibiotic should be started while awaiting culture results. Hygiene and repeated massaging of the gland when tenderness had subsided.
measures may require either radiation or removal of the affected gland to control its symptoms.The prognosis of acute sialadenitis is very good. Most cases are easily treated with conservative medical management, and admission is the exception, not the rule. Acute symptoms resolve within 1 week; however, edema in the area may last for several weeks. As painkiller has symptomatic role only, mainataninac of oral hygiene small meals, hydration is very important to relief the problem
