Re: Not a recommended way to lose weight…Ow!!
Oh dear Orangutan that doesnt sound very good at all....how awful for you being in so much pain
Ive not even heard of the parotid salivary duct but Im imagining it isnt a pleasant thing to have.
I hope you get some joy seeing the specialist and that you get some much needed relief asap!!!

Could be worse - if I had a fever they'd be shipping me off to hospital.

Dog yes
Amy had a problem with a blocked saliva gland not sure it is the same one though. Her face swelled up I thought at first it was an insect bite.
The vet evacuated the content.
She continued to have an intermittent problem with her face swelling, the vet said the content would be sterile so not to worry about infection.
I continued to evacuate it through a minute hole in the side of her mouth.
I hope you get yours sorted soon Anya
