    Sialadenitis (sialoadenitis) is inflammation of salivary glands, usually the major ones, the most common being the parotid gland, followed by submandibular and sublingual glands.

    Strictures are the second most common cause of chronic obstructive sialadenitis, after salivary stones. [1] In line with this, strictures may give rise to the "meal time syndrome", [1] where there is pain and swelling of the involved salivary gland upon salivary stimulation with the sight, smell and taste of food.

It usually occurs in children and involves pain in front of the ear, swelling of the parotid, fever, chills, and headaches.

  7. Salivary gland - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salivary_gland

    A sialolithiasis is a salivary stone that may cause blockage of the ducts, most commonly the submandibular ducts, causing pain and swelling of the gland. [33] Salivary gland dysfunction is either a reduced (hyposalivation), or an increased (hypersalivation) production of saliva.
