Like the answers? Consult privately with the doctor of your choice
it is common to have small salivary gland stones that get blocked in the duct under your tongue. Consult an ENT surgeon or your dentist for assessment. Sometimes this leads to infection which may need antibiotic treatment or occasionally the stone may have to be removed if it does not come out on its own
Health Tips
warm water gargles will help. Also sucking on lime or lemon helps the salivary glands to flush the ducts.
