A member asked:
What can i do to unblock my salivary gland (below my right chin)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heat/massage: Gentle massage or milking of the gland, as well the application of warm compresses. I also recommend the use of sialogogues. Those are substances that increase the production of saliva, like sour candies or lemon juice.
