Detailed test needed.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Jyt 24,
Thanks for the query.I understand your concern.
The thyroid nodules are mostly asymptomatoc or can affect thyroid function and become toxic.
You need to get thyroid function tests of blood done and aspiration biopsy of thyroid if needful. Any variation on thyroid hormone need to be treated (by medicines or surgery as per the severity of symptoms)
If there are no symptoms and thyroid levels are normal, you should be relaxed ,and obseve for any changes in future, as few times it can get malignent.
Please consult an Endocrinologist, get it examined, investigated and treated as per need.
Be in periodic contact with the expert to prevent further harm.
Hope that helps. Any follow up query is welcome.
Thanks.
