What should I do if I find my neck swollen?

Patient's question:

Discovered a swollen neck in May 2013 and had the nine tests of thyroid function done at Panzhihua Central Hospital.

Doctor's answer:

It may be caused by hyperthyroidism. You need to go to the hospital for tests such as ultrasound and thyroid function tests. Medications like thioamide and radioiodine treatment may be prescribed. If the effect is not good, surgical treatment may be required. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, tea, and coffee-containing foods and other stimulating foods. There are many causes of pediatric endocrine diseases. If a child is diagnosed with pediatric endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
