Patient's question:
Got thyroiditis, my neck is swollen very severely, and now I'm getting intravenous drips to reduce inflammation. Is there any way to completely cure thyroiditis? What is the best method for treating thyroiditis currently? Which hospital is the best for treating thyroid nodules?Doctor's answer:
1. The size of nodules in subacute thyroiditis varies depending on the extent of inflammation, and the texture is often relatively hard. It has a typical history, including an acute onset with symptoms such as burns, sore throat, and significant thyroid pain. During the acute phase, the thyroid's uptake of 131 iodine decreases, imaging often shows a "cold nodule," and serum T3 and T4 levels drop, presenting a "binding" phenomenon, which is beneficial for diagnosis.2. It is recommended to go to a formal hospital for examination and treatment. A diet rich in vitamins is commonly adopted, including an appropriate amount of liver, animal internal organs, and fresh green leafy vegetables. When necessary, digestive vitamin preparations are one of the dietary considerations for thyroiditis.
