My ears have that itchy tingly feeling to. I think its because when the gland swells it presses on the group of nerves that run on the inside of the jaw. My tongue also gets kind of a numb but super sensitive feeling like its going asleep. I've been thinking about getting a needle and injecting vinegar right into where I feel the stone. I'm 30 now but have been dealing with quacks since I was 25 about this and all they ever do is say it's infected and give me Antibiotics . Sure it gets infected 2-3 times a year but they never treat why it gets infected. Even when it's not infected it still hurts and I can feel 3 stones. 2 small ones in the duct and one massive one where the gland and duct meet. My grandmother told me that my great grandfather had them too and had to have them cut out in the 1930's.
