Hello,
* As per my surgical experience, thyroid swelling does not cause issues with a prominence at sleeping on right or lump in the throat.
I predict more of salivary gland swelling via inflammation as in the submandibular gland or else.
Kindly provide me a photo image of the swelling when it is most prominent during follow up the discussion so that I can guide you more precisely from my surgical experience.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
