It pays to educate yourself about your illness and self care -

Last night I woke up with pain in my mouth. I realized it was from a newly blocked salivary gland and gave that gland gentle massage along the chin line. Success! I was awarded with a gush of saliva and immediate end to the pain !

If it's serious don't hesitate and seek medical attention. Same applies for anything that refuses to go away. Stay safe and stay healthy!
