A member asked:
Will my gland under my jaw stay swollen as long as i have a salivary duct stone? please help me docs!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably yes: Unless the stone in the duct dissolves spontaneously, the glands will remain swollen. See a head and neck surgeon or ENT doctor for its removal.
