10. Treating Thyroiditis
In some cases, thyroiditis resolves with no treatment or by treating the underlying infection. Over-the-counter pain medications can help alleviate temporary discomfort when the thyroid gland is painful. For those experiencing profuse sweating, palpitations, anxiety, and tremors, beta blockers are helpful.
Thyroid replacement therapy is necessary for those with hypothyroidism. In some cases, this therapy is only needed temporarily. People with Hashimoto's thyroiditis often must continue this therapy throughout their lives.3‘Thyroiditis: Types, Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment.’ Cleveland Clinic, my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15455-thyroiditis.
