What Is the Treatment for Enlarged Salivary Glands?

Salivary glands (sialadenits), diseases, are more common in the parotid and submandibular glands. Divided into acute and chronic, clinically common chronic inflammation. There are mainly gland swelling, pain, exacerbation during diet, congestion, swelling, and discharge of pus in the mouth of the duct. In severe cases, inflammation spreads to cellulitis.

Salivary glands (sialadenits), diseases, more common in the parotid glands,

1 Mainly glandular swelling, pain, exacerbation during diet, congestion, swelling, discharge of pus from the mouth of the catheter, severe inflammation spread to cellulitis.
2 Chronic inflammation also has glandular enlargement without symptoms of acute inflammation. Submandibular adenitis can often reach stones at the base of the mouth and jaw and tongue and groove. Mumps drains viscous saliva or thin pus from the mouth of the duct.

1 In addition to the general symptoms of inflammation, the gland is enlarged, painful, exacerbated during diet, the catheter mouth is congested, swollen, and pus is discharged. In severe cases, inflammation spreads to cellulitis.
2 Chronic inflammation also has glandular enlargement without symptoms of acute inflammation. Submandibular adenitis can often reach stones at the base of the mouth and jaw and tongue and groove. Mumps drains viscous saliva or thin pus from the mouth of the duct.
3 The x-ray imaging of the parotid gland and submandibular gland showed a sausage-like destruction of the catheter and a snowflake-like or cotton-like destruction of the acinar.
4 Acute mumps should be distinguished from mumps and cellulitis in the chewing muscle area.

Treatment principles are anti-inflammatory, drainage, and promote secretion and surgery.
1 Acute inflammation Systemic medication is the same as general acute inflammation. Incision and drainage should be performed when an abscess has formed. However, parotid gland abscesses often form most abscess cavities, so the parotid fascia should be completely opened. But be careful not to damage the facial nerve.
2 Chronic inflammation controls infection, which mainly makes secretions flow smoothly. Commonly used drugs for intraparotid irrigation are antibiotics, isatis root, Tianqihuang, chymotrypsin, 3% potassium iodide or 40% iodized oil. With acidic drinks or oral pilocarpine, it can promote saliva secretion.
3 If the submandibular glanditis is accompanied by stones, if the glands are normal without fibrosis, calculi should be removed. If the stones are located at the back of the catheter, deep or in the glands, or if the glands are already fibrotic, Glandectomy. Painstone soup can be taken when multiple stones or patients are unwilling to undergo surgery.
4 For those who have failed to treat chronic mumps, radiotherapy, catheter ligation, or facial parotidectomy can be used.
5 There is no effective method for parotid hypertrophy, and attention should be paid to the examination and treatment of systemic diseases. Oral and intramuscular injections of Chinese medicine sometimes have a certain effect.
