I've had gynecomastia under just my right nipple for the past 13 years it stays the same size but hurts when I press it. Does ayurveda offer any treatment options that don't involve surgery?

For gynecomastia, Ayurveda may offer herbal treatments or massage therapies to reduce breast size, but surgery is generally more effective if the condition persists.

I've noticed that both sides of my parotid glands have been swollen for the last five years. There's no pain, but I've been to an ENT specialist who did an MRI, an ultrasound, and some blood tests. Everything came back normal, except that he said my parotid glands are enlarged and mentioned it might be something I was born with. What's got me worried is that I've observed these glands getting bigger every year. I've been trying to maintain a good diet, avoiding oily foods, and doing regular exercise, yet my face remains swollen. Should I be concerned about this and consider seeing another specialist?

1. Drink plenty of water to help dislodge the object. 2. Eat a banana or something soft to help push it down. 3. Cough vigorously to try and expel the object. 4. If the object is stuck and you're experiencing difficulty breathing, call emergency services immediately. 5. Visit an ENT specialist or an urgent care center for further assistance.
