Can a thyroid nodule 3cm be removed?

Patient's question:

I had a fever and sore throat two days ago and noticed that both sides of my thyroid were swollen. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with a 3cm thyroid nodule. I am very upset. Can a 3cm thyroid nodule be removed? Does this situation require surgery or medication?

Doctor's answer:

You can go to the gym, but you need to pay attention and avoid intense exercise. Moderate physical exercise can help improve health and immunity. It is recommended to visit a hepatobiliary specialist for follow-up, undergo targeted and thorough examinations, promptly return the examination results to the treating doctor, discuss specific treatment plans with the treating doctor, and cooperate with the doctor to implement treatment. This will help effectively control the condition. If it meets the surgical criteria, surgical treatment is recommended.
