Swelling in parotid gland

2022-06-29 22:20:26
I have swelling and pain just in front of my right ear. I have been consulting from a general physician and I can feel some relief in pain and size of swelling area. But it is not fully gone. Is it a good decision to continue with general physician or should I visit someone who is specialized for such type of disorders? Your help will be appreciated. Thank you. Currently I am taking the medicines prescribed in the attached prescription
