Symptoms of parotitis

Symptoms of a swollen parotid gland can vary depending on the underlying condition. Some of the most common parotitis symptoms include: Pain where the gland is swollen. Fever. Chills. Headache. Sore throat. General malaise or tiredness. Loss of appetite. Dry mouth or dry eyes (usually associated with Sjogren’s syndrome). Most people with acute parotitis have extremely tender parotid glands. Those with chronic parotitis usually don’t have much pain or discomfort.
