Hello,
I can undersrand your concern. Neck swelling can indicate towards a possibility of hyperactive thyroid gland.
However, if the swlling is on the side of the neck below the wisdom toorh area, it could be because of wisdom tooth infection. If the swelling is in the center of the neck, it can be due to thyroid. As your doctoe suggested, blood test can confirm the presence or absence of thyroid disease.
I hope this answer helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Take care.
