Parotid Duct Blockage [cracked]

Indicated for mild symptoms, mucous plugs, and small stones.

Several factors can interfere with normal saliva flow through the approximately 6–8 cm long parotid duct: parotid duct blockage

A occurs when the tube that carries saliva from your parotid gland into your mouth becomes obstructed. The parotid glands are the largest of your salivary glands, located just in front of each ear. When this duct—medically known as Stensen’s duct —is blocked, saliva backs up into the gland, causing painful swelling that often flares up during or after meals.
