Based on your history...and on seeing the picture...I suspect it as parotid swelling caused due to acute parotitis...most common cause is viral infection...I recommend you empirical antibiotics to avoid secondary bacterial infection...
Next Steps
1)tab.ceftas-cv(200mg+125mg) twice daily after food for 5days 2)tab.lyser-d twice daily after food for 5days 3)tab.pantop one tab on empty stomach in the morning... we'll review after one week
