I just came home from the ER. I have a stone blocking my parotid (salivary) gland duct. My jaw is swollen and very tender and painful. The infection has spread to my ear and throat. The ER doc made an appointment for me to see an Ear, Nose, and Throat doc on Tues. I have a few meds to keep me until then.

What is the treatment for this? Do I have to have surgery? Do I have to let it "pass" like a kidney stone…I have never heard of this condition.

Please list any home remedies for passing a kidney stone. Least painful is best. Any real suggestions?? Anything will help!
