How Is A Lump In The Salivary Gland Treated?
I have a blocked salivary gland, probably submandibular, on floor of my mouth, behind tongue to left. Ultrasound and x rays did not show a stone and there is no pain but this lump, the size of a small pea has been with me since late August and I am very worried. I am female and aged 51.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have siledinitis or some tumour of salivary gland. You should take a course of antibiotics. If it doesn't respond to treatment then you should go for fine needle aspiration cytology or biopsy of lump. Then you should take treatment accordingly.
