Redness, swelling and pus overflow from the duct opening: the parotid duct cannot drain normally, which affects the circulation of body fluids, and the duct opening is infiltrated by inflammatory substances, which will cause redness, swelling and pain, and pus can be seen oozing out of the duct opening when pressed or touched by pressure.
