A member asked:
I have very sore and swollen thyroid on right side?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sore thyroid: Are you sure it is the thyroid that is sore and swollen? If so, it could be subacute thyroiditis, which is thyroid inflammation, which often resolves by itself (there could be transient changes in thyroid blood levels). Autoimmune thyroid disease (eg. Hashimotos) can sometimes do this. Either of these usually involves the whole thyroid, not just one side. See your doctor.
