What did the ENT advise. Follow the ENT's advice. You may try lemon drops/lollipops to stimulate the flow of salivary gland secretion that may dislodge the block.

My son has what seems to be enlarged parotid salivary duct in mouth. The parotid gland itself is not swollen at all. Can rubbing on teeth cause this?
