Patient's question:
Hello, regarding the disease of thyroiditis, generally speaking, there may be many situations. The first one is that it has a certain self-limiting nature. In this case, you can consider traditional Chinese medicine. However, in the case where it might be a manifestation of a systemic disease in the thyroid, then in terms of treatment, you may find it difficult to rely solely on traditional Chinese medicine. You can consider using Western medical treatment methods.Doctor's answer:
The disease you mentioned earlier, subacute thyroiditis, is generally not treated with traditional Chinese medicine, but primarily with Western medicine. The name of this disease itself is a diagnosis confirmed by Western medicine. In the treatment of this condition, if the patient notices that the pain is primarily in the thyroid area, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to alleviate symptoms and promote blood circulation. If the condition is still severe, hormone-based medications can also be administered.
