i have post covid long haul symptoms for 4 yrs. and i brush my teeth any time i put something in my mouth so i believe my mouth is as clean as it can be; however, i also get that painful parotoid swelling more frequently since having covid and i believe it's because of my body's inflammation from which i never recover. ent just prescribes antibiotics and they always work. i had a dds appt. about a month ago and asked the dds if he'd write another rx for antibiotics for my parotoid issues...his reply was that if it was covid related, he couldn't...and didn't. if you get any answers, please post here.

Have you seen an ENT. Ironically my bff had a salivary gland operation today to see why it’s swelling. Sometimes the fluid drains in to her mouth.
