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.  Regards, Dee

Dee,
I get the same thing. I think it may be a blocked salivary gland. 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.
