Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of nodes, hypothyroidism, pain in throat cartilage area, sudden green expectoration.
The cause is definitely an infection in respiratory tract and should be investigated by the following:
Send the phlegm for gram staining, culture and sensitivity.
X-ray of hte chest.
CT scan of the sinuses
MRI of the neck instead of the CT scan to get the better diagnosis.
A course of an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory medicines ans so on.
Continue with your treatment for Psoariatic arthritis.
Complete the course of medication till you are cured of the problems.
