Also my throat is always sore and it is hard to swallow foods. I have to take very small bites of food. I do drink a lot because it cools my throat. I am on warfarin which dries out my mouth terribly so I always have a cup with a lid and a straw. The doctor told me to use a straw so as not to get too much air in my stomach as I was burping a lot. It really helped using the straw plus it regulates me from taking too big of a gulp that is hard to swallow. My whole jaw line on both sides of my face are always sore. It is hard to talk so I talk through a small opening and try not to mumble. It is very difficult. I get an earache in both ears if I don't put cotton in my ears when I am not home. I also now have to wear a mask like the ones you can get at the hospital when you go to visit. They have them at the blood lab as well. I have to wear it when I leave the house. I just turned 60 but knew I was ill as a child but did not know what was wrong. The rheumatologist said I now must wear a mask and wear cotton in my ears, use my rx nose spray Fluticasone as well as take my OTC sinus medication.. my 4 way stop before you go out..things to do or I get a sinus infection if I go out and do not do all 4 because he said that is how weak my immune system is now.

Hi i get swollen glands aswell in my jaw line, usually happens when i am in a flare, i take this as a sign to slow down n rest, it can so painful to even turn ur neck sending u hugs

My glands along jawline and behind ears seem to be always swollen .if I take a pic it looks like I'm a pelican it's very painfully also when I flare the glands under my armpit and inner thighs also fat pad over public bone. Warm packs and massaging help.

Parotid gland inflammation and infection is quite common. It's very painful and gross when they get pus filled 😖

I've had several cases of lymphedema. I use natural Lymph and Adrenal support and it keeps it under control. I seem to always be tender under my jaw and up into my ears. You can use coconut oil and massage the nodes making them active again. Their is fluid around them and you have to massage it out.
