Hi. Thank you for your query. 1. Parotid gland infections can arise due to viral, bacterial (dental), infections, decreased immunity, autoimmune diseases, blockage or stricture of the ducts and so on. 2. Get a USG Neck done to confirm the diagnosis. MRI dialogs physical is useful in recurrent cases. 3. Medication can help decrease the infection. 4. Salendoscopy is a new option. Regards.
