Patient's question:
Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has been affected, and now I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. What is the matter with multiple thyroid nodules?Doctor's answer:
Thyroid nodules, even if multiple, will never cause throat pain. Therefore, it is recommended to investigate other possible causes for a sore throat, with the most common being an upper respiratory infection. Additionally, if thyroid nodules, even if multiple, do not cause many symptoms such as local pain, compression of surrounding nerves, blood vessels, or the trachea, there is generally no need for special treatment. Regular follow-up examinations can be conducted to check if they can shrink. If they shrink rapidly, then surgical treatment should be considered.
