salivary gland stones
Anyone familiar with salivary gland stones? I had teeth pain on the bottom right side of my mouth and the dentist x-rayed the teeth and said they and the bone looked healthy. I took a trip and awakened with extreme jaw/ear pain. When I returned home 5 days later, my mouth under my tongue swelled and finally what appeared to be a stone came out with some pus and blood. The swelling went down. Back to the dentist and he put me on antibiotics again, but I have been sick for several weeks. How long does it take an infecton in the salivary gland to heal? I still have intermittent jaw pain and pain under the tongue. I brush, gently floss, and rinse with hydrogen peroxide. I suck on sour drops and drink extra water. My mouth is so sensitive I can hardly eat. Any suggestions? The swelling under my tongue is better today, but I am wondering whether or not this is the end of the nasty stones.
