Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Throat After Thyroid Tumor Removal

I have a hx of thyroid tumor (benign) removal 5 years ago. I have a feeling of fullness in my throat, and feel like it s hard for swallowing - not choking though. My throat doesn t look swollen. Should I get labs drawn, or have an ultrasound done, or? Thank you, Cheryl

Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic
I personally suggest you better to go for USG neck to rule out thyroid swelling or to reach the near diagnosis.

Thanks
