Botox for enlarged parotid and submandibular glands?
RMSNJul 25, 2016
I have Sjögrens Syndrome - an AI disease that primarily attacks the moisture producing glands. My major symptom has been enlarged & painful salivary glands despite having minor dry mouth & never suffering from salivary stones or infections. No treatments by my ENT & Rheumy have been able to shrink the enlarged glands. I've read that Botox can help reduce the size but neither my ENT or Rheumy are aware of this treatment. Would I be causing more problems if I were to try Botox for this issue?
