How can someone get rid of the pain in the thyroid gland due to goiter?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query; it is certainly a benign nodule, according to the attachment (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). If it is causing her pain, it can be removed surgically, or the cyst can be aspirated or ablated. However, considering her age, you will need an endocrine surgeon to review her suitability for any of these procedures. It is alright to leave it as it is, provided a regular ultrasound thyroid and thyroid function test is carried out every six months. You can give her simple analgesics like Paracetamol (Acetaminophen), one gram orally once or twice a day after consulting a specialist doctor. We do not want to give her very strong painkillers as they have their side effects.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Do not worry; the cyst looks benign. However, I recommend getting it removed if your mother is fit. But you can still consult an endocrine surgeon to know if there is an alternative technique to help her. They will check her fitness before doing anything invasive.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.
