I've been having this on-and-off pain in my right side submandibular gland for some time now, the weird thing is the swelling just won't go away. It's been like this for 2 years! And lately, for about a month, there's this persistent pain at the base of my neck where the skull ends and also inside my head, all on the right side. I'm struggling to find a doctor who can help; two of them suggested removing the gland, but it still produces saliva. I'm really hoping there's another solution that doesn't involve surgery. Is there anything else I could try?
It sounds like you may be experiencing chronic inflammation and pain in your submandibular gland on the right side, along with swelling that has been present for 2 years. The recent development of pain in the back of your neck, at the base of your skull, and inside your head on the right side is concerning. Given the persistent swelling and pain, it is important to address this issue promptly. I recommend seeking a consultation with an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist for further evaluation and management. They may consider a thorough examination, imaging studies, and possibly a biopsy to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. In the meantime, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, warm compresses applied to the affected area may provide some relief. As for medication, you can try a course of antibiotics such as Amoxicillin-Clavulanate to address any possible infection in the gland. However, please note that this is a general recommendation and should be confirmed by a healthcare professional after a proper evaluation. I hope you find the relief you are seeking and that your symptoms improve soon.
