How is salivary gland stone treated?

If there is an acute bacterial infection with the stone in the treatment, the infection is primarily treated with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs and increasing fluid intake. The classical treatment of salivary gland stones is open surgical methods. If the stones in the subchin salivary gland duct are close to the duct mouth inside the mouth, they can be removed through the mouth. Today, however, sialendoscopy is a new option in the treatment of salivary gland stones.
