I've had swelling under my right jawline for the past 14 days, and it hurts when I eat. A scan showed a 7mm stone in the main duct where it comes out of the gland. The pain has stopped for the last 3 days, but I can still feel the lump. Is surgery the only option for this? If so, would it be done through the mouth or from outside the neck? Can I get sialendoscopy instead, and where's the nearest place to get it done in Amritsar?

A salivary gland stone is the likely culprit of your swollen jaw and pain when eating. While surgery is an option, sialendoscopy (a minimally invasive procedure) is often a first choice. It's best to seek a specialist's opinion on the best course of action

I keep getting pain on the right side of my throat and sometimes it's hard to talk. I also feel like vomiting and the muscles in that area keep pulling. The doctor said it might be because of tonsils and suggested surgery. What will happen if I don't get my tonsils removed?
I understand your symptoms. However I would need some more details to get a clear idea of what you are going through 1. The duration of your symptoms and the severity of pain 2. Associated ear pain, cold or cough 3. Any symptoms of acidity or reflux as this is a very common cause of throat pain
