Thyroid swelling one side
Dears sir/Mam,
For the past 12 months, I have been experiencing thyroid-related issues. Initially, I consulted an ENT doctor, who advised me to undergo several tests, including FNAC, TSH, T3, and T4. The reports did not show any major problems, although the ultrasound report mentioned a goiter. The doctor prescribed levothyroxine tablets, which I have been taking for the past nine months. My thyroid levels became normal, but the swelling on one side of my neck did not decrease.
I then consulted an endocrinologist. He repeated the blood tests, FNAC, T3, T4, and other hormone tests. After reviewing the results, he said that all the test results were normal. However, the swelling still did not decrease. Finally, he recommended surgery.
I would like to know what I should do next. Pls help

Hello. Hope you are well. You are experiencing persistent swelling despite normal thyroid levels. This does happen. Now we would normally wait and watch, to see if it reduces on its own. Surgery is recommended if the swelling is physically apparent or causing discomfort, provided all thyroid related tests are within normal limits.
