Why is the swelling and pain in my left salivary gland while eating and sleeping not improving, even though I am taking my prescribed Combiflam and Mahacef 200 for a salivary gland infection?

While Mahacef 200 (cefixime) fights the infection and Combiflam (ibuprofen/paracetamol) manages pain, pain while eating often points to a temporary blockage, like a salivary stone, preventing saliva from flowing. To help find relief, try staying deeply hydrated, applying warm compresses, and gently massaging the gland. Sucking on sour, sugar-free candies can also help stimulate saliva flow to clear the blockage. Please contact your prescribing doctor or an ENT specialist for an examination to check for a blockage and ensure you get the right relief.
