Salivary Gland Problems

Salivary gland problems can cause a range of symptoms, including swelling, pain, dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, or the presence of lumps. These issues may result from blockages caused by salivary stones, infections, cysts, or less commonly, tumours. Conditions such as sialadenitis (infection of the salivary glands) or Sjögren’s syndrome (an autoimmune disorder) can also impact the ability for glands to produce saliva, leading to discomfort and potential complications.

At The ENT Consultancy, we provide expert care for diagnosing and treating salivary gland problems. Our specialists use advanced diagnostic tools such as imaging scans, ultrasound, or fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy to assess the condition. Depending on the determined cause, treatments may include medications to treat infections, minimally invasive procedures to remove stones, or surgical interventions for more complex cases, such as tumours or cysts.
