How is hyperthyroidism treated?

Patient's question:

When I went to bed in the morning, I noticed severe pain in the lower part of my neck. Even a light touch with my palm caused pain, as if something was growing underneath. There was a noticeable reduction in size. A detailed ultrasound examination revealed thyroid enlargement. How is high fever convulsion treated? What should I pay attention to in my diet?

Doctor's answer:

Through the careful examination by color Doppler ultrasound, it was confirmed that the thyroid gland had enlarged. However, a mere careful examination by color Doppler ultrasound cannot confirm hyperthyroidism. Therefore, even if there is a recurrence of thyroid swelling, it is necessary to conduct thyroid function tests and a careful examination of thyroid-stimulating hormone to potentially diagnose hyperthyroidism. If hyperthyroidism is present, medication should be administered for treatment. Pay attention to a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
