Pebbles Or Salivary Glands?

Question: I am 27 years old, these months I see the left side of the jaw slightly swollen and painful, increased pain when eating. I went to see a doctor who suspected salivary stone stones but did not see the X-ray. So my disease is gravel or tumor? What to do to identify the right disease? (Pham Van Thuy - Nghe An)

Possible pathologies of the salivary glands include salivary gland inflammation, salivary gland stones and salivary adenoma. Inflammation of the salivary glands (acute infection) is largely found in the parotid glands and the lower glands.
Typically manifested by acute swelling of the gland, increased pain and increased swelling with food

. Antibiotic treatment, analgesic, antipyretic will be relieved. Salivary gland stones: clinically the patient may have pain and swelling of residence.
Often there is a history of recurrent salivary gland inflammation The stone is more common in the Wharton duct (lower jaw drainage) than in Stensen tube (parotid gland drainage).




The stones in the Wharton tube are usually large and contrast and the stones in the Stensen tube are usually not contrast and smaller. Therefore, regular X-ray may not be detected.
Although the disease of the salivary gland is rare and not dangerous, if the tumors from the small salivary glands are mostly malignant, they should be treated early.
If you are at a hospital near your home that does not have MRI and CT scans, you can go to a higher level hospital for a definite diagnosis, so that you can have a specific treatment..
