You may have tiny deposits in the ducts of your parotid gland.  You could have a food sensitivity which triggers an immune reaction.  You could have a dental infection which is activating an immune response.


  You could have a variety of other causes.  Seek the advice of a trained health care practitioner to take a history, perform a physical exam,  identify the cause and provide you with some treatment recommendations.
