Hi, thanks for your query to Chat Doctor.-I studied it and understood your concerns. In my opinion its mostly adenoid of the parotid gland or-? Parotid Sialeadenitis with ductal obstruction by parotid duct stone- I advise for Surgeons consultation and FNAC biopsy by him.-So the pain could be due to ductal stone obstructing parotid duct or may be due to parotid adenoid with ? Neoplastic invasion Which is very rare in parotid tumors. Hope this reduces your worry. Wellcome for any further help you need from me.
