Dear dr.my kid is 6 year old , last 1 and half year she was suffering left ear parotid swelling repeatedly , happened 4 or 5 times in a year ?

Recurrent parotitis: it is unusual to have recurrent symptoms without an anatomical reason. She is young for a stone but there may be a problem with the drainage duct. Best to see a Pediatric ENT specialist to help work through this. All the best.
