Ultrasound is often selected as the first means of diagnosis in soft tissue lesions in the head area of the neck, including salivary gland inflammation. The test plays a role in diagnosing the disease and providing information that helps to differentiate salivary gland inflammation from other conditions.

1. Ultrasound diagnosis of salivary gland inflammation

1.1 Ultrasound diagnosis of acute salivary gland inflammation

Through the image on ultrasound, in acute inflammation, the salivary glands are larger than normal size and reduce sound. Hem hemless, small oval-shaped symable area. Color ultrasound can be observed to increase the amount of blood to the inflamed area. In acute salivary gland inflammation, the lymph nodes increase in size.

1.2 Diagnostic ultrasound of chronic salivary gland inflammation

Ultrasound of chronic salivary gland inflammation usually sees the salivary glands of normal size or smaller, symosis, he hem hemosis and usually without an increase in the flow of blood vessels on doppler ultrasound. Small circular, oval-shaped sym reduction zone, distributed throughout the glandular mesthality.

1.3 Ultrasound diagnosis of anesthage – vehicle in acute salivary gland inflammation

On the ultrasound image, the anesthpression is a sound-reducing lesion or a sound drum with a rear sound gain and unknown shores. The central region of translation can be detected in the form of an inorcular region or portable deposited fragments. The dots are visible inside the loaf of the anesth wheel. In addition, an anthr sound area surrounding the lobe can be detected. Ultrasound is used to perform a manual procedure.

1.4 Ultrasound diagnosis of chronic slerosis salivary gland inflammation

In chronic slerosis salivary gland inflammation, pervasive Küttner tumors can be observed with images of many small negative dots scattered in a he heertic glandular tissue background.

In the case of locality, the area of sysymable lesions is he hemline, which is observed mainly inside a normally shaped gland. Suspected cases of chronic slerosis salivary gland inflammation should be poked, biosedical to diagnose the disease.

1.5 Ultrasound diagnosis of granuloma salivary gland inflammation

On ultrasound, granuloma salivary gland inflammation has an uns specific image. In the salivary glands, there are one or more areas of sound reduction, normal-sized or large salivary glands, pervasively reduced to sound. Blood vessels may have increased flow.

For salivary gland tuberculosis, under ultrasound large-sized salivary glands can be observed. Swinging is almost negatively empty in the ear-bearing gland, there may be many burrows and hollows inside. The burrows of bean pulp necrosis are medley-negative, without blood vessels. In fungal diseases, salivary glands are observed in the form of a malignant, med off-negative tumor with unknown shores.

1.6 Ultrasound diagnosis of salivary gland stones

Ultrasound is a well-used non-invasive method in all suspected cases of salivary gland stones and is often used as the first means of diagnosis.

In salivary gland stones, ultrasound images show strong ultrasonic bands or points with distant obstruction shadows. If there are symptoms of pipe obstruction, the dilated tubes are clearly visible.

When glandular stones are suspected under the jaw, on ultrasound images may reveal stones located in glandular mesthem or in the Wharton tube. The determination of the location of stones helps to choose the appropriate treatment.

Ultrasound images on chronic salivary glandular stones are often harder to detect. At this time, the stones located in the tube do not dilate. The stones located near the tube hole or the middle segment of the Wharton tube can be better exposed by pressing from within the mouth during ultrasound.

In about half of patients, salivary gland stones coexist with inflammation. The increased bubbles of the gas mixed with saliva can fake gravel in the Wharton tube resulting in a misdiagnosation of the person.

1.7 Ultrasound diagnosis of salivary itching (Sialosis)

Sialosis is recurrent salivary gland swelling, painless, non-inflammatory, without tumors, which usually appear on both sides and are associated with the ear glands. Sialosis usually occurs along with endos noisy diseases, poor nutrition, cirrhosis of the liver, alcoholism, or other deficient diseases such as vitamin deficiency.

Ultrasound images in salivary itching reveal enlarged salivary glands, hypersymosis with a deep lobe that is difficult to see clearly, without local damage or increased flow of blood vessels.

1.8 Ultrasound diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome

Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic autoition disease that occurs mainly in women over 40 years of age, characterized by strong plasma and lymphatic infiltration, destruction of salivary glands and tear glands, clinical manifestations of dry mouth and eyes.

Ultrasound has a diagnostic effect in the advanced stages of the disease through examination of the ear glands and the glands under the jaw. Ultrasound images show he he he hem hemosis structures of the salivary glands with scattered small oval-shaped symitation areas or drums, which often have clear limits and increase the flow of blood vessels. Areas of sound reduction or sound drums are believed to come from penetrating lymphocytes, destroyed glandular cuticling, and dilated glandular ducs.

Sjögren's syndrome is often associated with lymphocyte growth. Therefore, ultrasound also has the effect of detecting early changes in lymphocytes. A biopsy is recommended for lesions in excess of 2 cm or rapidly growing lesions.

On ultrasound images, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma manifests it in the form of many nodules scattered with vascular hypertation in the salivary glands. Furthermore, inflammation of the sides (not caused by stones), granuloma (such as sarcoidosis), bloodstream macromillies and benign lymphatic tissue lesions in HIV-positive patients should be considered in cases where multiple stencyst regions are scattered in salivary glandular melanoma.

In salivary gland inflammatory diseases, in addition to the use of ultrasound, other imaging methods are also used in combination to diagnose the disease including MRI resonance imaging and CT scans.

2. Clinical diagnosis of salivary gland inflammation

Clinical symptoms are the first step, helping the doctor to suspect the disease and give diagnostic tests. Some characteristic symptoms of salivary gland inflammation include:

  • There is an abnormal smell or bad smell in the mouth, pus is in the mouth, dry mouth
  • Salivary glands carry enlarged ears or under the jaws of the sides, sometimes deforming the face
  • The skin of the ear glands is swollen, glossy, painfully hot, not red, non-concave pressing (for viral salivary gland inflammation) and redness, concave pressing (for bacterial salivary gland inflammation)
  • Little saliva, dense
  • Red or purulent stenon tube holes flow out when swiping along the glandular tube (for bacterial salivary gland inflammation)
  • Swelling of the lymph nodes at the corner of the jaw
  • Signs of infection such as fever or chills
  • Sore throat, jaw pain when opening the mouth, when chewing, swallowing, pain spreads to the ears, headaches, tired people.

3. Treatment of inflammation of the salivary glands

The treatment of diverse salivary gland inflammation depends on the severity of the infection, the underlying cause and the degree of symptomatic manifestation of the disease. In which there are 2 methods used mainly antibiotics in the treatment of bacterial infections, pus or fever, air suction machines are used to suck up the anesthetic.

In addition, patients also need to apply treatments for salivary gland inflammation at home such as:

  • Drink 8 -10 glasses of water a day with lemon to stimulate the salivary glands and keep the salivary glands clean
  • Massage inflamed salivary glands
  • Apply warm water to the inflamed glands
  • Gargle with warm saline
  • Hydrate tomatoes or sugar-free lemon candy to stimulate saliva production and reduce swelling

Most bacterial infections, inflammation of the salivary glands do not have to be used surgically. However, in case of chronic or recurrent infection, you may need surgery.
