Does a blocked salivary gland hurt?

A blocked salivary gland can be painful or painless, depending on the cause. Salivary stones cause dull pain in your mouth that comes and goes, swelling, as well as redness and a fever. While a blocked salivary gland caused by a cyst is often painless, you may find it hard to eat.
