How Is a Salivary Gland Stone Treated?

If there is an acute bacterial infection accompanying the stone, the infection is first treated with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, and increased fluid intake. The standard treatment for salivary gland stones involves open surgical procedures. If stones in the submandibular salivary duct are located near the duct opening inside the mouth, they can be removed through the mouth. However, sialendoscopy is a new option for the treatment of salivary gland stones today.
