You seem to be having nodular goitre. It is a benign lesion of the thyroid gland. If your thyroid function tests are normal then medicines are not really useful. Then you may need to consider surgery if swelling is cosmetically disfiguring. If swelling is small then it can be left alone
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist or endocrinologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
