A member asked:
Salivary infection is taking a long time to cure. dr. wants to do a mri of the brain. should i run and get it done now or wait?

Hard to understand: It is difficult to understand the connection between a salivary gland infection and a brain mri, unless your doctor wants an MRI to specifically look at the salivary glands. I recommend asking why your doctor wants this test and asking about the urgency.
