Pain and pressure in the submandibular gland is one of the symptoms of submandibular adenitis, a retrograde inflammation of the submandibular gland due to obstruction and narrowing of the ducts, called submandibular adenitis, which is often complicated by salivary stones. It is most common in young adults, more males than females, and has a short history of a few days or a long history of several years or longer. There are two types of the disease: acute and chronic, with chronic submandibular adenitis being the most common clinical condition. The main cause is an inflammatory reaction due to salivary stone blockage of the ductal system and secondary infection. The main symptoms are swelling and pain in the submandibular gland when eating.
