I noticed a lump (swelling) on my right side of the face. Could this be related to salivary duct obstruction?I had this before, about two years ago. I became anxious and went to the ER. No medication was prescribed. They told me to chew some lemon or buy some bitter candy. This did the trick then.This time I applied an ice pack, and followed the same medical advice as before.Please, advise...
Hello Dear, Warm welcome to Chat Doctor, I have evaluated your query in details. * There can be possible salivary gland infection from some sort of bacteria or virus, obstruction of salivary duct or others. * This needs clinical examination with details of symptoms and evaluation with a photo picture as an attachment to evaluate it precisely and guide in accordance to that. Wishing you fine recovery. Feel free to ask any further queries.
