Hi S-Max. This seems to describe it almost exactly! I have never ever had anything like that happen before but it did happen just before eating, but got a lot worse when I actually *was* eating. It was incredible just how fast it did swell. As I say, I freaked, but it also went down fast too. I had four mouthfuls of CS every ten minutes, and then, after another five minutes or so, it just felt the smallest bit less taught. I then had another couple of swigs of CS and within the hour, it had almost vanished.

It doesn't happen all the time, but only some times. And it happens on those rare times when eating. It affects my sub-mandibular gland and everything swells up amazingly fast from under my ear all the way down to under my chin where the salivary gland has enlarged and is accompanied by a slight tickle and itch type sensation.
