Need others opinions for diagnosis of infection of submandibular space.

Thanks for any help.
 
527.2 should work.

submandibular space includes the salivary and parotid glands. If it's something other than that DR needs to be more specific.

I would code 526.89, because I would want further documentation from the provider before I would code diseases of the salivary glands 527-.
