What Is a Salivary Gland Infection?

A salivary gland infection, also called sialadenitis, happens when bacteria or a virus enters one of the glands that produce saliva. The parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands can become blocked, inflamed and painful when infection sets in.

Salivary stones are one of the most common triggers. When a stone blocks the duct, saliva backs up inside the gland, creating the perfect environment for an infected salivary gland to develop. Left untreated, a simple blockage can become a serious abscess requiring urgent surgical intervention.

How Dr. Aahire Diagnoses and Treats Salivary Gland Conditions

Every patient with a salivary gland concern receives a thorough clinical examination of the face, jaw and neck. Dr. Aahire assesses the affected gland for swelling, tenderness, duct blockage and signs of active infection, a careful evaluation that goes well beyond a standard check.

Where needed, ultrasound imaging, CT scan and laboratory tests including culture and sensitivity identify the exact nature of the problem. Treatment is matched to what is found, from antibiotic therapy, hydration and gland massage for acute infections to sialendoscopy or sialadenitis surgery for recurrent or obstructive conditions.
