I have thyroid nodules and i'm having a lot of thick phlegm. also i began having pain that goes down to esophagus and up to the ear. is that normal?

Unrelated: Hi. Thyroid nodules and phlegm are unrelated. What is your thyroid function? I assume if you were hyperthyroid, you'd tell us. Pain to esophagus? That's not very specific. Some thyroid nodules are cancerous. The workup depends on several variables including size and echogenic characteristics. To directly answer your question, thyroid nodules, thick phlegm, and pain in esophagus are not normal.

See a doc: Nodules are common, phlegm and pain are not. There is no connection.
