Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

I recently got my TSH test results back, and it came out as 0.02. I'm kind of worried about it. Could you guide me on what steps I should take next and explain what this might mean for my thyroid health?

Accepted Answer

Hi, a TSH level of 0.02 is very low and suggests hyperthyroidism or an overactive thyroid. I recommend consulting your doctor or an endocrinologist for further evaluation, including free T3, T4, and antibody tests, to identify the cause and determine the appropriate treatment.
