Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns
If there is any cosmetic concerns or increase in size surgical removal is the best and only method to correct goiter. Consult a general surgeon for evaluation.
