The doctor thinks he damaged the salivary gland as it worsened after food. When it first happened, he removed some stitches and allowed the saliva to 'flow' into the mouth which eased it. at home 2 days later, saliva is not flowing as i think the inner cheek has healed closed. He has suggested it will heal itself or we can drain it in a couple of days. He doesnt seem certain about the best action. Any advice? I am very distressed, from my research I thought this was a low risk procedure!
