Cold nodule is not reducing in its size
My wife had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and cold nodules at the thyroid site, its been 8 months since she is taking medicine, no improvement in the size and also no reduction in the symptoms, other doctor said it might be hashimoto, other doctor said it is goiter,other doctor said that thyroidectomy is the solution,no one has really diagnosed with the right thing,what's more worrying is the size of the nodule is increasing.
Right tests
Right diagnosis
Right treatment is what I seek at the earliest.

Both of them are correct.
Goitre is just medical term for thyroid swelling.
Hashimotos is the autoimmune etiology of that swelling (goitre).
Nodule in thyroid need evaluation.
First is USG thyroid and TIRADS scoring.
Next if euthyroid had to go for FNAC of that nodule and then Bethesda categorisation..
If category is 4,5 or 6 then only surgery required.
