I had a thyroglossal duct cyst removed a couple months ago but the doc only removed the cyst. i am still experiencing a lot of throat discomfort. pressure and pain. could this be due to the tract still being there?

Return to Doctor: Go back to the doctor who removed the thyroglossal duct cyst ... They will be able to determine what is going on.. They may want you to have a cat scan. If scar tissue has developed or there is something else, a cat scan will reveal it.

Maybe.: You would be expected to have discomfort for some time after surgery, but after several months it should be diminishing. Your question is truthfully answered "yes, it's possible, " but the correct answer is only possible from your surgeon. Ask him or her.

Ask your doctor: You should be reevaluated by your surgeon.
