It is the inflammation of the salivary glands, caused by the lack of saliva.The 3 salivary glands are located in the jaw area. I have never been diagnosed with Sjogren's but I have had dry, sore mouth for several years. In the last year I have had parotiditis a few times. The first time I had to take antibiotics but now I just wait it out.It can be very painful--like Mumps. Sandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
