Can Sore Lump Under The Ear Be A Glandular Stone?

My husband has a nut shape lump just under the ear and it happens every once in awhile....when he eatsThe doctor said it was a stone, but of course she is not back from pregnancy leave, until June. It is sore and only bothers him every once in awhile. It can be sore for a few days or maybe half a day. Could this be a glandular stone.?Thank you

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi
It could be enlarged salivary gland due to stone blocked in the duct.
The gland should be removed along with the duct and stone.
Please consult your Surgeon and proceed accordingly.
Nothing to worry.
