Initially you may wait and watch and see if lymph nodes regress in size on its own which is expected in the recovery period of sore throat
If lymph nodes do not regress on there own then you may need to undergo test for tuberculosis and lymph node biopsy
TSH level is in borderline so you may repeat it after few months
