A member asked:
Can you have a stone in parotid gland without being able to feel it by touching cheek with hands of fingers ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can have a stone or multiple stones in the parotid and submandibular glands without feeling them. They can block the ducts of the glands and cause swelling, or have no symptoms at all. They are best seen on a CT scan of the neck without contrast.
