Why is your thymus swollen?
I have been on meds for treating hypothyroidism for over three years and I noticed about two years ago a place on my breastbone that was becoming swollen. I've been watching i…t but it doesn't seem to be getting larger. Today I started searching the Internet to see what lies in that area of the female body. The thymus seems to be the answer. Since it's also involved in hormones could the meds I'm taking be the cause of the enlargement? I found in "The Women's Guide to Thyroid Health" it's noted that low thyroid function can cause a reduction in the production of hormones by the thymus gland. Since I'm taking meds to increase my hormones wouldn't that mean it's also increasing my thymus and causing it to become enlarged? PLEASE SEE YOUR DOCTOR, NOW. (MORE)

Why is your betta swollen?
It could be because he/she has over-eaten or because he/she has dropsy. If only the "chest" is swollen, he/she has probably eaten too much. Don't feed him/her for a day or two…, or give him/her a small piece of a pea (put a frozen pea in a little water and microwave for 10-15 seconds, then cool it down and cut it up, no skin). Start feeding him/her a little less at meal times. If the whole fish is swollen, and the scales are sticking out (a little like a pinecone), it is dropsy. Dropsy can be caused by many things, including bacteria. If it is bacterial, it can be treated. Go to the pet store and look for fish medication. Good ones to look for are Maracyn or Maracyn-Two, but they are not the only medicines out there. Read the label of each brand carefully to see what will treat dropsy the best. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If it's a female, it could simply be that she's gravid (filled with eggs).

What can you do for a swollen eye?
If your eyeball is swollen, get to an ophthalmologist pronto. If it is only the eyelid or the area around the eye, you can reduce the swelling by applying a cold pack …or a nice thick, cold, raw, steak (put it in a plastic bag first). If the swelling is an allergic response, such as from poison ivy, you should schedule to see your medical service provider because it may spread or worsen.
