Answer:
Viral infections such as mumps, flu, and others can cause swelling of the salivary glands. Swelling happens in parotid glands on both sides of the face, giving the appearance of "chipmunk cheeks." Salivary gland swelling is commonly associated with mumps, happening in about 30% to 40% of mumps infections.
To cure it: applying warm compresses to the affected gland. rinsing your mouth with warm salt water. sucking on sour lemons or sugar-free lemon candy to encourage saliva flow and reduce swelling.
