sialadenitis is an inflammation of the salivary glands, which can occur due to infection, blockage, or autoimmune conditions. The most commonly affected glands are the parotid and submandibular glands. Symptoms may include swelling, pain, and dry mouth, often accompanied by fever if an infection is present. Treatment for sialadenitis typically involves hydration, warm compresses, and massage of the affected gland. In cases of bacterial infection, antibiotics may be prescribed. If a blockage is the cause, procedures to remove stones or other obstructions may be necessary to restore normal function.
