ENT Specialist,  's  Response
in my opinion painful enlargement of lymphadenopathy , first differential diagnosis of infective reason should be considered. for that I would recommend you a short course of antibiotics and pain killers. if lymph nodes disappears, its ok. if it's not, I would recommend a FNAC and histologic examination of lymphadenopathy. further treatment will depend on that. certain point in history , age, duration, weight loss, other complaint, smoking/ drinking history will support in making diagnosis. for hashimoto, thyroid hormone levels are maintained in normal range by conservative treatment.
