    Hi Maria,

    Last year i had that on and off for about 6 months. Gone to ENT specialist and told me that was hormonal and to just suck on a sour candy when i feel it..i had a friend she had it so bad that they end up draining the gland.

    It will go away eventually. i remember i was on vacation for my wedding anniversary and my time was totally ruined, thinking and worrying what would happen. sometime the things we worry the most never happensmile 

    feel better and happy holidays

    Mine were swollen on the left side, every time i would open my mouth i can see it...it was scary, but like my doctor said hormones would do that to you..when i stopped stressing about it it was gone! Now i'm dealing with this burning feeling in my left ear!! so weird..
