Could be recurrent parotitis. The usual cause for this is either parotid duct narrowing or a stone formation
Next Steps
Please get an ultrasound done for the parotid gland and contact after that. We may need to get MR sialography for confirmation later but ultrasound is a good screening tool
Health Tips
Avoid anything sour as of now and have plenty of water. Do face massages gently
