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 other cases, it may be a manifestation of a systemic disease in the thyroid. In terms of treatment, you might 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. For 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.
