You seem to be having submandibular duct stone also known as submandibular sialolithiasis. If feasible it can be treated by sialendoscopy and removal of stone or sometimes complete excision of submandibular gland may be required
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
