I keep getting blocked and then infected parotid glands, mainly on the left side. The last bout had me in A&E getting IV antibiotics and steroids, as it was making me feel dreadfully unwell. (I'm wryly proud that the on-call ENT doctor said it was one of the biggest swellings he'd ever seen...)
I've got a referral to the ENT clinic for further investigation and treatment. I don't know what to expect though. Googling doesn't really help!
