Patient's question:
What is a parotid cyst? What does a parotid cyst mean? What medicine should be taken for a parotid cyst?Doctor's answer:
Most vestibular cysts are caused by the blockage of the vestibular duct and the accumulation of secretions. After acute inflammation subsides, the duct becomes blocked, and secretions cannot be expelled, gradually turning into pus and forming a cyst. Thick mucus in the glandular cavity or congenital narrowing and roughness of the duct can also lead to cyst formation. If the cyst is small and asymptomatic, treatment may not be necessary. If it expands or recurs with infection or abscess, surgery is required.
