See Your Doctor Now: Your symptoms suggest possible upper respiratory infection: is caused by numerous viruses & swollen glands are common however true thyroid swelling is not a feature. Mono virus is universal, many people contract it without symptoms; long-term aftermath unlikely with normal immune function. Any suspected thyroid enlargement must be evaluated. See your doctor now for correct diagnosis & treatment.
