Radio iodine can be attempted if the iodine uptake is high. That's one non surgical option you can consider.

Most thyroid nodules are cytologically benign and can be managed nonsurgically. Nodules that are completely asymptomatic require follow-up without treatment. Cosmetic problems and/or compression-related symptoms may be indications for surgery. When surgery is contraindicated or refused, several nonsurgical approaches are available. For better evaluation and treatment please consult an ENT specialist physically.
