What do you recommend for sialolithiasis?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Lemon candy: Parotid gland stones can be distressing, especially when the whole side of your face swells up. A good starting point is to suck on some sour lemon candy. The acidity in the candy is often enough to dissolve the stone. If you start showing any signs of infection (fever, local warmth, purulent discharge) then see your doc right away.

Sialolith: Milking (massaging) salivary gland (under you jaw) or parotid gland (along side in front of ear) depending on which gland is affected. Chew something sour to stimulate salivation. In rare cases may need surgery.
