Parotid duct obstruction
A little bit of swelling in both the ducts from 2 months. i have consulted to a dentist he said this is not a big deal. Swelling will go away on its own after some period of time. He just asked me drink more fluids.
He said the reason for the swelling is stones in the duct. But i have no pain or any other issue and saliva flow is also good.
So should i go for the removal of stones or they will get normal on their own.
But because of this inside of the cheeks are always swollen and i easily got cuts i eat something hard or sharp.

If stone is causing a swelling then it is big enough to stop saliva secretion somewhere. Slowly the problem will increase only. Dont wait for the pain but get a thourough examination of where is the stone exactly and get it removed

Stop delaying the treatment. A small stone will be removed easily later it may lead to removal of all the salivary gland

Greetings, sir
As per my suggestion you should start a home remedie with lemon juice or orange candy you keep it in the pocket and take 2 drops of lemon juice or a orange candy every 1-2 hour that will increase salivary flow and if the stone is small in size it will get off by its own.
Wait and watch for some time with this remedie if it causes pain go for further counsultation.
Hope this wipl help you.
