If your wife's fine needle aspiration cytology report and ultrasound reports are suggestive of colloid nodule and Thyroid function tests are normal then medicines can't be used to cure this condition. Since it's a benign condition surgery is also optional and need to be done only for cosmetic reasons
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist or head and neck surgeon for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
