Parotitis Treatment - Parotid Tumor Surgery | Salivary Gland Surgery Los Angeles CA

Parotitis is a common medical issue that affects millions of people worldwide. The parotid glands are partially responsible for the production of saliva and can become inflamed or infected leading to a constellation of vague and often non-specific symptoms. These symptoms can include pain, tenderness, and/or inflammation of one or both of the parotid glands. Because of their location on either side of the face and the nonspecific symptoms, parotid gland issues such as parotitis are classically mistaken for other ailments.
