hi and thanks for the query,
the thyroid nodules do not push on the voice box.
need for frequent clearing of the throat and hoarseness can be seen in infections of the larynx, sinuses and also in acid reflux.
you have to see an ENT specialist for the diagnosis.
till then do warm salt water gargling 3 times a day, steam inhalation 3 times daily, drink plenty of warm fluids.
give voice rest and do not talk loudly or whisper.

Dr Rajkishori.
