==Overview==
Parotitis is an inflammatory disorder of the salivary gland, or sialadenitis. It is most commonly infectious in etiology but can be autoimmune or neoplastic.
Symptoms of parotitis include abnormal tastes,[[Trismus|difficulty opening mouth]], [[dry mouth]], [[fever]], mouth or facial pain (particularly when [[chewing]] or [[swallowing]]), [[erythema|reddening]] of the face or upper neck, and facial [[swelling]] in front of the ears. There may be a history of [[smoking]], chronic illness, or poor oral hygiene in parotitis patients.

The diagnosis is a clinical one. Imaging is usually reserved to assess for a complication such as abscess formation, invasion of the deep neck spaces, [[mediastinitis]], jugular vein thrombosis or [[osteomyelitis]] of the [[mandible]]. Local invasion of the [[temporomandibular joint]] (TMJ) and [[thrombophlebitis]] of the retromandibular and facial veins have also been noted. [[Facial nerve]] dysfunction is rare and usually transient if the infection is treated. More prolonged palsy suggests neoplasm. Because of the underlying debility, the most worrisome complications are systemic and [[sepsis]] can rapidly develop. Chronic recurrent parotitis can occur as a separate entity or secondary to ductal stenosis from initial infection.

Overview

Symptoms of parotitis include abnormal tastes,difficulty opening mouth, dry mouth, fever, mouth or facial pain (particularly when chewing or swallowing), reddening of the face or upper neck, and facial swelling in front of the ears. There may be a history of smoking, chronic illness, or poor oral hygiene in parotitis patients.

History

  • A patient with a history of smoking may be vulnerable to parotitis from bacterial infection.[1]
    • Smoking's reduction in salivary flow rate will predispose the patient to parotitis.[2]
  • History of chronic illness should be considered in a parotitis patient due to the predisposition to bacterial infection.
  • History of oral infections due to poor oral hygiene should be considered.

Symptoms

Symptoms of parotitis include the following:[1][3]
