Suggest Treatment For Parotid Gland Tumor
I have just been diagnosed with a parotid gland tumor but my doctor said he isn't worried about it. I have severe throat pain and some ear pain. Does this type of tumor have to be a certain size before it is cause for concern or should I get a second opinion?
