If tests such as ultrasound and fine needle aspiration cytology of the swelling have confirmed enlargements of submandibular gland then probable diagnose would be chronic submandibular sialadenitis. In some situations sialendoscopy may be helpful. If there are multiple stones in the gland then surgery may be the only option
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
