No.. doesnt sound like an infected gland to me.... I think you need to get to a doctor asap, and have him check it out. And when i say doctor.. i'm NOT talking about a Dentist!!! Thats beyond our control. Sorry........

You may have another stone in there.  Once the infection and swelling has cleared it will be easier for the doctor to tell.  It can take a couple of weeks to get back to normal as the stone does quite a bit of damage to the salivary duct as it passes....;

please go to your dentist, he'll check on it without payment because it is his duty to do it. do not take a risk relying on others experience,it might came out for her but maybe not on you. you're right that there's a possibility to have an infection. it's your health! Be safe!

my brother had this... dr. told him to massage it gently when it swells to work the saliva out... went away on its own in a couple/few weeks. i don't remember him having much pain though... have you seen a dr?

Go back to your doctor and have him take a look at this.  The swelling should have gone down by now.  Attend to this without delay.

it sounds like tonsillitus or possibly a yeast infection in the throat.  When you get a really bad infection in the throat sometimes it doesn't all clear up and abscesses and keeps recurring.  If it is tonsils, you'd need them out.  If it's a yeast infection you have antibiotics will not help, you need to have some sort of treatment like mycostin mouth gargle, diflucan, and possibly mycelex troches.  Have them do a throat culture so they know what they are dealing with, see a ENT (ear, nose, throat) specialist.

It could be a Bartholin's cyst. The Bartholin's glands are a pair of glands either side of the vagina, and secrete mucus. If the opening gets blocked, it causes a swelling, and can come on rapidly. It is not usually sexually transmitted, and treatment is only needed if it is causing a problem.\n\nIf it's painful, warm compresses may help. It may well clear on it's own, although it;s worth getting it checked out. If it persists, and is causing pain, a small operation called marsupilization will prevent the opening from blocking again.\n\nIf you are anxious, perhaps you could get an appointment with a practice nurse, at a family planning or GUM clinic? Directory enquiries or NHS Direct can tell you where the nearest clinic is. \n\nType in Bartholin's cyst in a search engine, and you will find loads of sites.

Saliva increases with nausea so it could be that you have been nauseas lately and are increasing saliva production. I understand some people have saliva gland over activity but it's real rare and i have no idea what they do about it. \nI would see your doctor and if they can't help see another doctor.

There are so many possibilities, so you should definitely see a dentist first, and possibly a doctor.  One possibility is what's known as a sialolith- this is a hard calcification that builds up from saliva flowing through the submandibular gland.  Generally people who have this experience pain when eating (really, it's when you salivate a lot- i.e. when you're eating).  Treatment for this condition is excision (removal) by an oral surgeon.  Your dentist, oral pathologist or oral surgeon will be able to diagnose this and set you up with either a referral or appointment.  You should however get this checked out as soon as possible to rule out any sort of malignancy (although this would be a very atypical presentation of a malignant pathology)
