How To Treat Sore Throat While On Thyroid Medication?
My Endocrinologist took me off my thyroid medication in March and just started me back because I was getting too much synthroid due to the fact that my thyroid had come back or it was a little bit left behind. Now I am having a sore throat, what can I treat it with?

Hi,
Sore throat is mostly unrelated to your thyroid problem
Sorethroat is commonly due to viral pharyngitis which can be tested with analgesics, saline gargling etc. If not improving you should consult a physician who may prescribe you antibiotics if needed,
Hope I have answered your questions. If you have any further queries I will be happy to help you
