Patient's question:
My neck suddenly became thicker three months ago, and there were lumps when touched. My diet increased, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The results confirmed that I had thyroid nodules. The doctor treated me, and I went home to take medication. But recently, I noticed phlegm in my throat. Do thyroid nodules cause phlegm?Doctor's answer:
Thyroid nodules themselves will never cause phlegm. Improper care may lead to a recurrence of continuously increasing phlegm. It is recommended to visit the respiratory department of a regular hospital for thorough examinations, such as phlegm tests, X-ray examinations, blood tests, etc., to diagnose the cause of the continuously increasing phlegm. Rest more during the day, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and drink more warm water.
