We can see these signs with oral or neck pain, but self limiting episodes of unknown generic pain are possible as well. Salivary glands inflammation, neck pain due to nerve impingement or more severe dynamic intervertebral discs compression are only few of the possible differentials. Practically I would recommend to monitor her and see if the signs are repeating over time. If that is the case a check up could be needed.
