Yes, most salivary gland infections will go away on their own, but you can speed up the process by drinking ample fluids, taking and recommended medications, and rinsing your mouth with salt water. Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day so your body has all the fluids it needs to fight off the infection. Take over the counter pain medicine to reduce the pain. To make a salt rinse, add half a teaspoon of table salt to 8 fluid ounces (240 ml) of lukewarm water. Take a sip and swish it around for a few seconds, spit it out, then repeat the rinse. Don't swallow the water and do the rinse about 3 times a day to help clear away the infection and relieve the pain.
