What does it taste like after a salivary gland unblocks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually bad: When there is an obstruction of the salivary gland, there usually is an infection that follows. So when the stone or obstruction is removed, you will have puss expressed from the duct. It doesnt taste good from what patients tell me.
