I have a stone in my salivary gland and I'm not sure what to do next will it go away with medication or do I need surgery to remove it? I'm a bit worried about what the best option is

You can try to remove a salivary gland stone by doing things to increase the amount of saliva in your mouth, such as: sucking on a lemon or lemon drops. drinking plenty of water. gently massaging around the stone.

I've been dealing with a cold for almost two months now and it's getting really frustrating. I'm doing steam inhalation every day and using a nasal spray that my doctor prescribed, so my nose isn't blocked at the moment. But it feels like there's something stuck in my throat that Im constantly trying to spit out. Every time I do, it feels like there's a connection to my ears, which is really uncomfortable. On top of that, I've got an eye infection that just won't go away. I've been on medication for a month now with no real improvement. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?

visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management
