I've been having nipple erection, and they seem really puffy. I'm worried it might be gynecomastia or something like that. Whenever I wear t-shirts, my nipples stick out and it's super embarrassing. A pulmonologist suggested I take Augmentin 625mg twice a day and Rantac 150mg both after eating. I'm just wondering if this is the right treatment for this problem. Could you give me some advice on what to do?

Nipple erection and puffy nipples can indeed be symptoms of gynecomastia. However, Augmentin (625mg twice a day) and Rantac (150mg after food) are not typically used to treat gynecomastia. Augmentin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, while Rantac is used to reduce stomach acid. For gynecomastia, the treatment approach may vary depending on the underlying cause. It is important to follow up with your pulmonologist or a specialist in gynecomastia for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

Is gynecomastia treatable without surgery and if surgery is the only option could it cause any issues later on
Gynecomastia can sometimes be treated without surgery using medications like tamoxifen or raloxifene, especially if it's hormone-related. However, if surgery is necessary, complications are rare but may include changes in nipple sensation, scarring, or asymmetry. A qualified plastic surgeon can assess your case.
