6. What Are the Symptoms of a Thyroid Tumor?
Often, the first symptom of a tumor in the area of the thyroid is a nodule that can be felt from the outside or when swallowing. The surrounding lymph nodes can also become swollen and painful, with pain radiating toward the ear.
A hoarse voice is another common symptom, which can be accompanied by a cough that is not associated with nasal or chest congestion. Larger tumors can make it difficult to swallow or compress the trachea, giving the patient the sensation that it is difficult to breathe.
