Salivary Gland Problems Salivary gland infection or sialadenitis. Bacterial infection of the salivary gland, most commonly the parotid gland, may result when the duct into the mouth is blocked. Sialadenitis creates a painful lump in the gland and foul-tasting pus drains into the mouth.ometimes salivary stones can block the flow of saliva. When saliva cannot exit through the ducts it backs up into the gland, causing pain and swelling. Pain is usually intermittent, is felt in one gland, and gets progressively worse. Unless the blockage is cleared the gland is likely to become infected.

Throat â Salivary Glands We call the major salivary glands the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands. They all secrete saliva into your mouth, the parotid through tubes that drain saliva, called salivary ducts, near your upper teeth, submandibular under your tongue, and the sublingual through many ducts in the floor of your mouth.bstruction: Obstruction to the flow of saliva most commonly occurs in the parotid and submandibular glands, usually because stones have formed. Symptoms typically occur when eating.

Salivary Gland Infections A salivary gland infection is typically caused by a bacterial infection. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common cause of salivary gland infection. Others causes of salivary gland infection include: Streptococcus viridans; Haemophilus influenzae; Streptococcus pyogenes; Escherichia coli; These infections result from reduced saliva production. This is often caused by the blockage or inflammation of the salivary gland duct.

- There are 3 pairs of major salivary glands: 1  Parotid glands: These are the largest salivary glands and are found in front of and just below each ear. 2  Sublingual glands: These glands are found under the tongue in the floor of the mouth. 3  Submandibular glands: These glands are found below the jawbone.alivary gland cancer is a rare disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the salivary glands. The salivary glands make saliva and release it into the mouth. Saliva has enzymes that help digest food and antibodies that help protect against infections of the mouth and throat.

- Sometimes cysts develop in the skin (epidermoid cyst), including in the skin of the neck. A salivary gland under the jaw (submandibular gland) can enlarge if it is blocked by a stone, becomes infected, or develops a cancer. The thyroid gland, which is in the middle of the neck just above the breastbone, can enlarge.

- A salivary gland stone is a calcified deposit located in the salivary gland or duct. These deposits often block the flow of saliva and can cause swelling and discomfort. Effective natural treatment works to safely dissolve deposits and return normal function to the salivary glands.s salivary gland stones are caused by the buildup of calcium and other minerals in the salivary gland, treatment focuses on naturally dissolving the buildup. Common treatments include apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and oregano oil.

- In an affected animal, we see the salivary cysts in either of two places. Typically, a large pocket of saliva will form under the jaw at the base of the neck. It will initially be on the same side as the injured duct, but after a brief period, the cyst can become so large that it fills the entire area below the jaw.

- Causes. Saliva (spit) is produced by the salivary glands in the mouth. The chemicals in saliva can form a hard crystal that can block the salivary ducts. When saliva cannot exit a blocked duct, it backs up into the gland. This may cause pain and swelling of the gland.

Bacterial & Viral Infections In rare cases, mumps will attack other groups of salivary glands instead of the parotids. If this happens, swelling may be noticed under the tongue, under the jaw, or all the way down to the front of the chest. Mumps can lead to inflammation and swelling of the brain and other organs, although this is not common.
