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

View allI've been having this cough on and off where I feel like something's stuck in my throat. Sometimes, when I cough, there are these tiny clear balls that come up. Its not constant, but it keeps coming back every few days, and I'm really tired of it. What could be causing this, and how can I get it to stop?
Yes you can take it and visit doctor for appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with silent reflux for the past 4 months, and nothing seems to help not even medications like esomeprazole, pantoprazole, or antacids. I've tried lifestyle changes too, but my sore throat won't go away, and my voice keeps getting worse because of vocal cord damage. I've heard mixed opinions about surgery for LPR some say it doesn't work. What do you suggest I do?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I've been dealing with a runny nose for about three weeks now. Whenever I take my medication, it seems to get better, but as soon as I stop, it comes back. I'm currently on levocetirizine, montekast, Sinarest, metaspray, and nip-slip tablets. I'm worried this isn't going away. Could it be something I'm missing or not doing right?
Based on your symptoms, it's possible that you may have a narrow esophagus or a condition called esophageal dysmotility, which can cause food particles to get stuck. The feeling of something stuck in your throat, even after recovering from a sore throat, could be related to this. Tonsil stones can also cause discomfort. However, without examining the picture and considering your overall medical history, it's difficult to provide a definitive diagnosis. I strongly recommend consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough examination and guidance. They may perform an endoscopy or imaging tests to determine the cause of your symptoms.
