Surgery consists of tying off the drainage duct of the cheek (parotid) salivary glands within the mouth. In addition, we either tie off the ducts or remove the under jaw (submandibular) salivary glands. Following surgery the glands, or area around them, can swell or become infected. The surgery usually can cut down on saliva production by about 50 \u201375 %.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><div class=\"custom-cta\">\r\n    <div class=\"custom-cta-text\">\r\n        Call Pediatric Ear, Nose &#038; Throat Specialists of Illinois for more information or to schedule an appointment.\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"custom-cta-phone\">\r\n        <a href=\"tel:+18476745585\" class=\"phone \"><svg width=\"17\" height=\"26\" viewBox=\"0 0 17 26\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<path d=\"M13 1H3.4C2.07452 1 1 2.07452 1 3.4V22.6C1 23.9255 2.07452 25 3.4 25H13C14.3255 25 15.4 23.9255 15.4 22.6V3.4C15.4 2.07452 14.3255 1 13 1Z\" stroke=\"#0B2874\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n<path d=\"M8.13928 20.2H8.25928\" stroke=\"#0B2874\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n<span class=\"phone-number\">(847) 674-5585<\/span><\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drooling treatments and therapy Drooling can lead to many problems.
