What is Eosinophilic Sialodochitis?
Eosinophilic sialodochitis is a condition that affects the salivary gland. Sialodochitis means inflammation of the salivary duct. Eosinophilic sialodochitis is characterised by repeated salivary gland swelling, itching of the overlying skin or throat, and strings of thick saliva (also known as mucous plug).
Eosinophilic sialodochitis has been reported in a small number of individuals in medical literature, and is more common in females than males. Many people with eosinophilic sialodochitis also have other allergies such as asthma, hay fever, eczema, and food allergies.
