Hi, my boyfriend had a white hard stone looking thing under his tongue (salivary gland). He proceeded to squeeze it out. This left a hole which developed a clear and/or sometimes whitish discharge. The whitish discharge seemed to have a smell. He then took Zitromax (antibiotics) and the whitish discharge became clear (but still liquids coming out) for about a week but then came back. The hole is constantly open and liquids just keep coming out. How did this happen? and what can he do? unfortunately he is in Africa at the moment with little help. Please advice.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The white discharge and mass could be a salivary gland duct calculi with pus discharge. Since you are telling you squeezed the stone out it might have come out. Because of the antibiotic the pus discharge and infection has come down. Nothing to worry. Regarding the watery secretion, it is nothing but your normal salivary secretion from the sublingual and sub mandibular gland ducts which open near the floor of the mouth. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
