When I play the lottery I never win, but when it comes to be one of the 60 people out of a million to get this, I somehow win first prize. fml
You read my mind bro 😂👍
Me too
same here man
Same here
How to get it
shoutout to everyone dealing with this. It's annoying pain.
True right now i feel it when i know that i have mumps i drink a lit of water!
Been dealing with it all year.dentist thought it was a wisdom tooth infection until I seen a different dentist today
@@jenmachura9036 same thing happen to me today. Thought the same thing, just went for a test today. Am heart broken
@@lebronescalante579 Iv'e had it for 4 year's but cannot get any medical helpe they just don't undersand
right
Literally just had the problem over the course of 4 days, and I was desperate for a cure, but did not want to go to the doctor. So after googling. I chose to swish very warm salt water right around the area of the stone. Also massaged the area. Drink straight lemon juice, I did press on the stone with my tongue, you may not have to do this part, but that's what I did. Drank as much water as I could. I had spaghetti for dinner, and couldn't eat it all bc the pain was so horrible, but I think it also helped to induce saliva...and I woke up in the middle of the night and the stone was out! I felt so relieved. Hope this helps someone. Because I understand the pain.
Omg thank you so much for this. I’m in so much pain and desperately looking for tips without surgery 😣
@@CJsepiphany No problem! I pray it works for you! Would love to hear an update
Hi Brittany, I want to give you an update. The stone came out finally! Thank you so so much I followed your advice. Mine came out during my meal. I have a little anxiety still, but absolutely pain free. Never expected a stranger on YT to give me better advice then my doctor 😂
How do you know that the stone is out?
@@CJsepiphany OH great! I'm just glad I could help. How long did it take like a day?
I just dislodged a little white stone from my gland myself. No doctors needed👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I've had 10 over the years all in the left duct. I've now learnt how to get them to pop out. After having so many I had an ultrasound and if seems the duct on the left has a much smaller opening than the right one. I actually knew when one had come out because I got a huge spray of saliva all of a sudden and I could see the hole where it had come out inside my cheek. Suck a piece of lemon whilst you have one and you go through the roof with the pain and throbbing. If you don't want serious pain avoid all sour and sharp foods. The mouth will produce even more saliva backed up in the duct where the stone has blocked the salivas exit.
Thx for the info.... 1st. time problem for me.
How did you get them to pop out?
Thank you for explaining about what causes the salivary gland stones and what can be done.
I have had it many times and I know how to get rid of it fast.
1- The harder you squeeze it and play with, the worse it becomes TRUST ME
2- LEave it alone dont even play with it with your tongue
3- you will notice after few mintues, the pressure goes away a bit thats a good sign, Leave it
4- Now with your tounge gently push slowly (massage a bit) the middle of the vain or whatever that thing and push it toward the tip to let the stones out.
5- Once the first white part goes out a bit, keep doing it until all of a sudden they all flush out.
Done I should make a video better. Ill wait for when it happens and ill do it for you guys haha
Are you sure it will really work?
if only my stone was there that i could use this method
but mine is in the parotid gland [just under your ear]
@@littlecr7265 still do the same as mentioned above . I have in the same gland as urs and removed so far 5 stones .also do ultrasound to check how many stones their sizes or if any cysts or tumors
@@littlecr7265 mine too
I will try. :( I’m so desperate right now. It hurts.
My lymph nodes starts to swell when i was elementary and i keep on pressing and squeezing it to get off but it does not back to normal size it become worst until i was in my 2nd year in college my salivary gland swell until i couldn't eat well so i decided to consult a doctor and had a biopsy on my salivary glands and fortunately it was not cancerous and the doctor gives me antibiotics and it heals it becomes normal again and after several years it swell again and there was pus coming out in my salivary glads but i just ignore it bcoz im afraid to have consultation again .Honestly it gives me bad breath because of the pus 😕5 years ago since i went to my doctor and decided to consult again just this month (im already 23) and he said that it has stone it should be rid off and gives me antibiotics. But because of the Pandemic Covid-19 i was not yet able to do my operation. Praying and hoping that everything will be fine soon🙏 God bless as all!
Yyyyyyy
Yes, God bless us all!❤❤❤❤
Praying for u. You will be fine!
I too have same problem but it didn't re occured since I attained age of 18 ..now I m 24 but I m afraid godforbidden it re occured any tym ND cause any complication...I m literally in traumma because of it😥
Update?
Thank you for this very informative video! That paralysis-part makes me feel a little uncomfortable, though...
I had this problem in 2012. I had a surgery & doctors removed one of my gland. Don't know they did right or not. I am fine now but I strongly feel that there could have been a better way to deal with it. I had a surgery with full anesthesia & it lasted couple of hours I believe. It took me few months to recover completely.
My mom has slavery glands stone. But I don understand what kind of doctors I go. What kind of specialist doctors treat this please tell me
@@shohelihossain8121 ENT doctors
So helpful, thanks.
thank you this is helpful
Unbelievable pain. Dealing with my second one at the moment. I am well hydrated too. Drink water all the time.
Hello, thanks for sharing your experience with us. Get well soon!
Did your tongue swell at all?
I just told yesterday I have this I also have Trigeminal neuralgia on the same side I am in so much pain it's unbearable I have not slept all night. I hope I can pass them
I suffer from these and my cure works . I get in the shower and flush the gland area both on the outside of the neck and inside the gland area with hot water from my hand held shower rose then I push hard on the neck gland lump to pop them out and any built up puss present . Also running am electric toothbrush head around the bottom of the Tung helps .
I'm a cancer patient and there were certain meds you put under your tongue. I always assumed that's why I got one. It only happened once and I honestly thought it was an alien implant. It was long, super skinny and curved at the end like a witches fingernail. Totally freaked me out so bad.
I’ve been have one for almost 2 years
I got them operated out and after 3 years they started accumulating again... giving unbearable pain along with swelling.
One trait of these stones that I've observed so far is that we shouldn't touch them with so much pressure again and again.
All you have to do is to eat some saliva inducing food and after the gland got filled with saliva it will build pressure then just leave it alone and after some time when the pressure reduces slightly massage the area and they will flush out by themselves.
Every time I eat I get excruciating pain on both sides of my jaw - doctors in US don’t want to do anything about it and maybe that’s a better alternative
My mom has slavery glands stone but I don't understand where I go. What kind of doctors treat this. What specialist please tell me . I think my mom needs surgery
@@ritahall2378 take ibuprofen before eating and get antibiotics. Heating pads or warm compress regularly helps with pain and drainage. Keep the saliva flowing so sucking on sweets (keeping the pain managed) helps too. I have had it 5 times already and now its my 6th.
@@Sharondecruz3 Thank You I’m going to try it but I have Sjogrens and don’t produce salivary Have to take RX just to be able to speak mouth is bone dry
@@Sharondecruz3 Hi I have a quick question! I think I have this and when it went away for you, did it come out physically out of your mouth? Or where would it go if did go away? Thanks!
thank you madam for u r valuable information.Can i know the cost to remove the salivary stones
Would like to know all the causes so we could avoid them.
Drink plenty of water to keep these areas moistured
Do these occur under the tongue. My primary care doctor didn't seem to know much about them. When I ssaid my tongue was swollen and she looked under it just said she was surprised. (??? what does that mean?) Trying to get rid of it without seeing ENT but nothing seems to be working.
D. How can recognise it from cancer?
I currently have one had it for 2 months now it’s so painful I never can sleep or nothing cry everyday!!!
Finally am somewhat special!
I've had one for almost 4 months now. I broke into pieces a few weeks ago one night. Now all the pieces move around and right now they're stuck in my throat making me gag constantly. I've been eating cough drops for a month now and dont have insurance. just hoping they come out
I had this happen for the first time in October right after I had COVID. Now it has happened again. Should I go back to my ENT? Will this keep happening? I always stay hydrated, I would love to know what’s causing this. The left side of my face is swollen again and it hurts so much, especially when I eat.
If it is a stone suck on lemon drops. I had one the size of a grain of rice. I push on the lump. It emerged at the opening under my tongue. I pulled it out with tweezers. I get swelling when I eat strawberries.
Could you see it in your gland when you had it? I think I might have this but I don't see any white stone anywhere in my mouth.
God i think i need to see a doctor to check if i have a stone or something else. Whenever i take a first bite, or even just a flavoured drink the parotid area, especially the right side starts hurting like I've been punched there. The pain goes away in less than a minute and does vary in levels but my god it sucks. I've been on a first date and it flared up when i started eating which wasn't great as a first impression. I've had this for over a year and thought it was a minor issue that was probably mental but now I'm seeing more information that it could be physical
It might be what is called "First Bite Syndrome" which I have had for a long time but never knew, until recently, was a real thing. I assumed everyone had extreme pain for a few seconds while taking their first bite of food.
@@OhanaFilms Yeah i looked into it after posting that comment and I'm very sure i have that. I knew it wasn't normal because i didn't have it in my early life, it developed a few years ago. I think it's at least partly psychological because if i think the pain will be there it gets worse, sometimes appearing lightly before i even start eating
@@SkaterBlades From what I've read, it usually begins after certain surgeries but it is very rare for a person like me (no surgery) to have it. I've had it happen for as long as I can remember but never thought to see if it was abnormal. It seems to be getting worse as I get older. Best of luck, I hope you find some relief.
@@OhanaFilms Yeah, I've had surgery but nowhere near my head and neck. I might see a doctor and see if there's an underlying cause sometime
@@SkaterBlades hi can you please update as you what the doctor said is the issue, im struggling as we speak and had it for the past 20 years and its worse now

Hello could you get more than one blocked gland at both sides of your mouth Thank you Peter
Yes I'm from USA dealing with stones for 3 years passed 4 on my own now blocked again I want to know how to stop this from happening again
Stay hydrates and make sure your minerals are balanced
I have this little demon 2 times, seems like 1 a year. Its crazy i can just smell the food and my glands would swell up and get hard for at least 20 minutes. My ENT told me its from dehydration and to suck on lemon heads.
I've got a saliva stone and notice that my teeth were turning black. Does saliva stone can cause a tooth decay.??
I think decreased moisture in your mouth and on your teeth will increase the rate at which your teeth decay.
Recently have gotten a small gland stone just wondering how they can be removed.
lil anime girl you can try to pop them out like some people do with tonsil stones. But if they are allowed to get so big I’m pretty sure medical help is needed to help remove them. I myself suffer from tonsil stones.
I was suffering with stone in sliva gland from 5 years ,but when the pain was not undercontrol,then I went to hospital to operate.
Now I am very happy and have forgotten the pain of dirty stone
Drink water.
Hi sir I think I have also got salivary gland infection .I am so worried if u have any idea plz tell me
@@domthapa4177 Drink lots of water, and if you can go see a throat doctor.
@@domthapa4177Also gargling warm salt water will help with inflamation and thus the pain.
@@Neyonius yeah ,I had gone to hospital before 2 month and doctor told me to drink lost of water n had given medicine too .then I got ultrasound too but doctor told nothing but I am not getting well .not paining and not swelling also but I am suffering from inflametion .now I am in portugal .if I drink lots water I feel well .but actually I don't know salivary infection or other .
I've just been getting a bubble/bump or two under my tongue, but all the doctors I've visited have said that it's not serious and there's no stone or anything. But this bubble just keeps popping then reappearing in the same spot randomly, will this keep happening until my surgery near the end of the year?
Hi I have some little balls with clear liquid in my mouth too. They appear in the side of my mouth and ceiling
Can it cause dysphasia?
Is it curable by medications
Mine is not in the duct but in the actual gland...Sometimes I can feel it and it feels like it's about the size of a pea...Would it still be easy enough to go all the way to the inside of the gland?
It's not actually in the gland (under your chin) its the build up of inflammation and infection under the tougue due to stones in the Duct which causes a lump on under your chin
Mine isn't under my chin though....it's on the side of my face just above the jaw line. And I've never had inflammation and infection. It's never caused me pain and only bloats up when I bend over, in which case I massage it and it goes back down. I'll say it again...if I rub my fingers around in that spot on the side of my face sometimes I can feel the stone and it's about the size of a pea.
Yes it is...I'm suppose to see a specialist in May....With any hope it will be removed.
Start Me Up, did you remove it?
Christopher, I went to my specialist appointment and I in fact don't have a stone nor is it in my gland. I have what they say is a bloated blood vessel. I have had a ultrasound and waiting to have an MRI. Although it doesn't sound like they can do much for my problem anyway. Thanks for asking.
I think I have it !
When I smoke I get weird burning feeling or something but it’s hard to explain Also I get a lot of saliva do u know what this could be
I get a lot of saliva only when I smoke and same with mouth feeling
Did u find any remedies for the excess saliva . I do have the same thing. Excess saliva and now this stone
ok that happened mildly to me today. i squeezed it out. but it was tiny. slight sting though but my saliva shot out after it. weird experience. had to look it up. thanks
How are you doinv i just got mine today what should i do?
@@alvinreyes6165 well for me nothing serious. it just stung a bit. all i did was squeeze the saliva gland and the pain subsided and went away. all is well. you should be fine if its very small like mines was
@@xDTHECHEMISTx how did u pop it what did you use? What have you done after?
@@alvinreyes6165 nothing but my fingers. squeezed it like a pimple. i dont know how bad yours is but yeah right under my tongue bridge i just squeezed the small gland pimple and all the watery saliva shot out... nothing was needed after that. un easy pain went away. it happened twice to me within like 4 months.
So you popped it out?
Hello do you do that kind of surgery???? Where are you located???

Mine came out from under my tongue. Very tiny and salty taste x
Swelling reducing x
Have anyone have Lil ball with clear liquid in the mouth. I have been getting those for past 2 years and lately I had them for a week on and off they only last a day but comes back and now my jaw hurts and the side of my cheek and I feel I have a ball in my throat
Hello Lisa, if you are concerned, we advise that you see a doctor, just in case. Best wishes, The TD Team
I've had those lil balls during early stages of my saliva stones
I got big one removed. About 4cm long. Before its become stone the pain was terrible. Once its crystallize and turn to stone no more pain and i feel im having new teeth under my tongue 😅

Does it have a hole when you remove it? Mine have hole when I remove it, just wanna know it its norma
DO NOT mess with the stones, all the facial nerves are located right there. Do not take the chance of freezing your entire face because you messed with a nerve! Go see an ENT.
Had this happen to me for the first time like 5 years ago and it was really bad. The gland itself was super swollen and the end of the duct kept getting blocked and the duct tube would fill up and push out so far from under my tongue that it would touch my teeth! Eventually I used my tongue to crimp at the base and push towards the end and eventually it popped out, but I have had stones ever since and my gland is always larger than it was and is always a little sore to the touch even at the best of times (I feel the gland itself must have blockages and the ones that get to my duct are pieces that break out of the gland).
i think i have something like this now, it is bloody painful I can barely move my tongue.
Do they cause teeth and jaw pain because my dentist doesn’t find anything wrong with me. But I feel so much pain in my jaw face bottom teeth and I feel a numb next to my cheek bottom of gums.
Go to dr not dentist
@@jenmachura9036 My doctor told me to go to my dentist 🧍♀️
Yesss that’s what I was having I had to go to the hospital they gave me antibiotics
Yes just removed one myself when I was waiting for my CT scan results. Instant relief.

I thought I was the only one experiencing such pains. It's been 7 years and no doctor got it right, sometimes after injection I'd go through so much pain and pale liquid would come out under my tongue when I squeeze the swollen area. I really need help guys I'm in South Africa
hi did you manage to find help? i'm in South Africa as well and i've been experiencing this as well since i was 12 years old and that's 20 years ago imagine went to ENT doctor and couldn't help.
I have salivary stones and I wish I had a doctor for them. Wellsville, Kansas, USA
suck on lemons and ricola glacier mint cough drops. gargle warm water add a spoon of salt along with it . they will come out .
Does it hurt?
+joebaby1975 they did at first but now I'm free of pain. took out the last one yesterday

I’m glad your not in pain any more. I never such a thing even existed. Thank you and merry Christmas.
@@mariareyes6794 That isn't always the case, Hence why there is a Salivary Gland clinic......I have a few small salivary gland stones in my Submanibular gland drainage duct and tried all them things you mentioned and didn't do anything so now have to get them removed
I think I've got one
I had one. Doctor gave me antibiotics and it burst and was gone.
I have this now stone glands
I get drunk cut a small slit and it came out. Poke a small hole then eat sour stuff and suck on the hole. Sounds gross cuz it is but it's worth it got mine out last night had it for over a year.
It always happens to me when i go on holiday to a hot country. I randomly suck really hard as though im suckling on a non existent sweet, like realllyyyy hard, then it'll just all come out like puss, followed by a lil blood. The funny thing is, its been happening for the last 7 years and only today i found out what salivary stones are 🙄🤦🏻♂️; dispite trying to search the cause
Of course I'm the one with this shit out off 1000000 people of course I'm the 60
But not for winning the lottery......sigh
Please one of my gland produce bitter taste please help 😭😭
I'm sick and I drank Gatorade in the morning now I have gland stones
I’ve had it three days straight now, like it hasn’t settled it’s still swollen even when I sleep. This shit is annoying
I had one here's a pic of the surgery
Well it wont let me put a pic they took out my lymph note

Why can you not use ultra sound waves like a kidney stones.
They can do that as well
I did ultrasounds (twice) in 2 separate occasions and it didn’t detect it until
Doctor ordered a CT scan and it showed - size and all.
I had wisdom teeth extraction about 8 days ago and now I'm dealing with a stone right next to my socket. FML. 😒
I dont have money to go to the doctor,,i am suffering this every year..its so very painful,,i cant sleep at night because of this😭
No gland removal for me. Risks are too high.
Get well son!

I had mine removed,it was too large to be removed by any other means, it looked like a cocktail onion, they had to cut my throat to get to it. The pain was unbearable and I couldn’t eat so it was worth it.
Can this be very serious? Can it cause cancer if not treated ?
Elly Houser this has been going on with me for years and I don’t have cancer so I hope not “knock on wood”
I ate a lemon drop and it almost killed me
How did you do the lemon drop? By juice or chewing it?
The stones are choking me as they get lodged in the throat…I am miserable. Its worse when i sleep and eat..: two of my pleasures gone… any advice on managing them would be appreciated
had one 5 years ago and didn’t know what it was at first. then i massage it with my tongue for months and eat picante 🌶 stuff along with lemon 🍋- the remedy was (i think) more water in my diet & happy hours with spicy stuff!
😜👍🏻 no more stones so far 😊
2:31, oh, interesting
I have this right now. Hurts like a bitch 😢
Does it hurt in your head also like a headache?
....and!....how this differs from "Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma"?!....?!...
