A member asked:

Can thyroid disease affect your throat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: Inflammation of the thyroid can give some patients significant neck/throat symptoms. But generally most thyroid nodules are without symptoms. And most thyroid dysfunction results in general symptoms rather than local symptoms (throat issues).
