you do next?

Answer>> D. Send to an ENT specialist for further
evaluation
Some cases of parotitis may require surgery if the
stone does not pass. Refer the patient to an ENT for

help at this point, since it is likely that the stone may
lodge in the salivary gland. Even if you were able to
locate the stone on a radiograph, once conservative
treatment fails an ENT may have to remove the stone.
