Recurrent sialadenitis (salivary gland inflammation) with yearly episodes suggests chronic sialadenitis, possibly due to a salivary duct stone (sialolith) or stricture causing repeated obstruction and infection.
Next Steps
See an ENT surgeon — rule out a sialolith with CT scan or salivary endoscopy. Between episodes, stay well hydrated, gently massage the gland, and suck sour candies to stimulate saliva flow. Consult me on Practo for further guidance.

Good afternoon ma'am, sialadenitis is just an inflammation of the salivary gland. If your husband is getting recurrent pain, then it is best to get a sialadenoscopy done. This will identify if there's any stones (even minor) ones which are causing obstruction to the flow of saliva from the gland to the mouth.
