Swollen salivary glands can be the result of a number of medical conditions. In most cases, none of these causes are life threatening, and most are easily treated with antibiotics. The salivary gland, also known as the parotid gland, is located in the back of the mouth, right below the ear.There are also two minor glands, the submandibular and the sublingual, located beneath the jaw.n most cases, swollen salivary glands are a symptom of a mostly harmless infection or inflammation as the result of a salivary gland stone. A course of antibiotics, staying hydrated to help flush out the infection, and warm compresses are all that is required to treat this condition.
