Hello,
Sorry to learn about your bothersome symptoms.
There are some types of thyroiditis, by the symptoms you described the most probable diagnosis is subacute thyroiditis which is caused by a viral infection.
The first line of treatment is nonsteroid inflamators but if you do not see any improvement corticosteroids are indicated.
If the pain persists you should discuss with your treating physician to about alternative treatments.
Hope the information will help.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
