I'm a bit worried about my mom since she's diabetic. If she ever needs it, can she take ORS safely without any issues? With everything so uncertain these days, I'm just trying to be cautious.

Yes, it is generally safe for your mother to take ORS if needed, as it helps to rehydrate and replenish lost electrolytes. However, since she is diabetic, it's important to choose an ORS with low sugar content and monitor her blood sugar levels closely during use. Always consult her doctor for personalized advice.

I'm 18 and have gynaecomastia but no lactation is there any way to treat this without surgery

Yes, several non-surgical treatments can be used to address gynecomastia, particularly in teens, without the need for surgery. Many cases of gynecomastia in teenagers are related to hormonal changes during puberty and may resolve on their own within a few years. However, if the condition persists or is accompanied by pain, various medical and lifestyle interventions can be explored.
