How Can A Swollen And Tender Breast In A Male Be Treated?

I am a male and my left breast is swollen and tender. I don t necessarily feel a lump as there was one in there 20 years ago that was removed and not cancerous. I am coughing alot and not sure what it might be. Its only been this way for 6 weeks. Thanks for your thoughts

Hello dear. A swollen breast can be either an abscess or gynaecomastia. An ultrasound of the breast is must which can differentiate between them.
Thanks and regards
