Could anybody suggest medicine for parotid gland infection swelling and how to clear gland duct stone with out operation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Parotid stone: Make sure you are on antibiotics if there is swelling. Also stay well hydrated (drink plenty water), take NSAIDs like Ibuprofen or Naproxen scheduled doses for 1-2 weeks, and encourage daily salivation to get the gland working - hard lemon candy or lemon wedges 3 times per day.
