Sialolitos en los conductos salivales - Treatment

Nombres alternativos

Sialolitiasis

Tratamiento:

El objetivo es eliminar el sialolito.

Tome mucha agua y use gotas de limón sin azúcar para incrementar la saliva, lo cual puede eliminar el sialolito. Masajear la glándula con calor puede ayudar.

El médico o el odontólogo pueden empujar el cálculo o sialolito fuera del conducto. En algunos casos, es posible que se tenga que cortar o reducir quirúrgicamente el sialolito a pequeños fragmentos usando litotricia extracorpórea por ondas de choque.

Pronóstico:

Los sialolitos o cálculos en los conductos salivales son molestos, pero por lo regular no son peligrosos. El sialolito generalmente se elimina sólo con un mínimo de molestia. Algunas personas pueden sentir más dolor.

Si la persona presenta sialolitos o infecciones repetitivas, puede ser necesaria la extirpación quirúrgica de la glándula salival afectada.

Posibles complicaciones:

Cuándo contactar a un profesional médico:

Consulte con el médico si tiene síntomas de sialolitos en los conductos salivales.
