Which medicines are commonly prescribed to treat a salivary gland infection?

Asked by Female, 45 · 18 hours ago

Salivary gland infections are highly treatable. If the infection is bacterial, doctors commonly prescribe oral antibiotics such as cephalexin, dicloxacillin, or amoxicillin-clavulanate to clear it up. Over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help reduce swelling and ease any discomfort. To help clear the gland, doctors also often suggest keeping well-hydrated and using sugar-free lemon drops to stimulate saliva flow. Most people recover fully within a few days of starting treatment. Please consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and the right prescription for you.
