The thyroid is a small gland in the neck that makes hormones that control how the body uses energy. When the thyroid isn’t working right, it can lead to a number of issues that can affect the throat. Here’s more about thyroid issues and how they affect the throat:

Hypothyroidism:

Hypothyroidism happens when the thyroid doesn’t make enough of the hormones it needs to. This can lead to a number of problems, such as a hoarse voice, a sore throat, and trouble swallowing. In severe cases, hypothyroidism can lead to goiter, which is an enlarged thyroid gland that can make it hard to breathe and swallow.

Thyroid Cancer:

Thyroid cancer is not common, but it is a serious illness that can affect the throat. Some of the signs of this disease are a lump or swelling in the neck, a hoarse voice, and trouble swallowing. As well as surgery to remove the thyroid gland, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy may be used to treat thyroid cancer.

Thyroiditis:

Thyroiditis is when the thyroid gland becomes inflamed. It can be caused by a number of things, such as an infection or an autoimmune disease. Some of the symptoms are a sore throat, trouble swallowing, and a swollen thyroid gland. Thyroiditis may be treated with medicines that reduce inflammation and ease symptoms.

If you have any of these symptoms, you should see a doctor right away. Tests like blood tests and imaging tests can be used to find out if someone has a thyroid problem. The best way to treat the problem will depend on what’s causing it. Treatments may include medicine, surgery, or radiation therapy. Most thyroid problems can be taken care of well and have less of an effect on the throat if they are diagnosed and treated correctly.
