Suggest Remedy For Swollen Lumps In Throat

I am a female of 49 years. Suddenly my front portion of throat have swollen with a lump (approx 15cm radius) and on one side of the neck. Doctor advised me certain blood and other tests to test forThyroid diseases. But reports came normal. This symtom has developed for the last three days. What could be the disease? I am on medicine for Arthritis for 10 years and have no major problems. Please help.

Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. Even though your thyroid blood reports are within normal limits, still the swelling could be related to thyroid apart from other swellings of the neck. However, it might not be possible to diagnose the lump without a clinical examination, and a confirmatory test like an FNAC/core biopsy along with an ultrasound of the lump.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
