Should I Consult A Doctor As My Thyroid Is Visible Especially On One Side?
My thyroid is very visable especially one side. Swollen and looks like a long lump on my neck. I have thyroid nodules and have had a thyroid scan but everything was back to normal when I had the scan. Should I go to the doctor s every time the thyroid is swollen and I can see it? It tends to make me feel like I have a lump in my throat and can t get rid of it no matter how often I clear my throat. Should I go again and have it checked out? Will a blood test work best for this?
