Background

  • Occurs from outflow obstruction by a stone or calculus in the salivary gland or duct
  • Submandibular location most commonly
    • More viscous secretions and runs an uphill course

Clinical Features

  • Xerostomia (dry mouth) along
  • Increasing swelling and pain during mealtime

Treatment

  • Pass spontaneously
  • Start on sialogogues (e.g., sour lozenges), which stimulate salivary secretions and help expel the stone
  • Palpable stones may also be “milked” from the duct
    • Stroking in a posterior to anterior direction.
