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 become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Could you please advise on how to handle a thyroid nodule in a 10-year-old child?Doctor's answer:
A 10-year-old child with hard lumps in the thyroid gland, nodules, and throat discomfort may lead to recurrent narrowing of the local throat ducts, as well as abnormal lymphoid follicle hyperplasia, causing pain and discomfort. Further examination of thyroid hormones and thyroid CT is necessary. If it is a cold nodule, there is a need to be cautious of tumor diseases and surgery may be required. Hot nodules can be observed, primarily considering benign inflammation.
