Their swelling is usually an indicator of something negative. See a doctor ASAP. Could be an easy fix. Could be worse.

Good luck.

It is a general sign of infection, and may be exacerbated by dehydration.

My girlfriend had a similar problem where her salivary glands became dried out from allergy medication, and would swell whenever she ate. But it is more than just a course of antibiotics; you need to have a doctor explain how to end the cycle.

Go to your doctor today.

I agree that you should see your doctor immediately. It sounds like an infection.
