You seem to be suffering from acute parotid infection known as parotitis. Since parotid is a salivary gland it will produce saliva during eating and increases in size. You may need to take antibiotics and painkillers and antiseptic mouth gargle for few days
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
