What Are Symptoms of Thyroid Problems?
5. What Are the Symptoms of Subacute Thyroiditis?
Unlike hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, patients experiencing subacute thyroiditis do not usually present with system-wide symptoms. This condition usually occurs after an acute viral infection such as the flu and symptoms are more obvious.
Subacute thyroiditis is a type of inflammation of the thyroid, so many patients experience severe pain in and around the actual thyroid gland. When palpating the thyroid, it feels painful to the touch. Due to the pain and inflammation, turning the head and swallowing can become difficult.
