thyroid??

[anbuma]

i definitely believe i do have a thyroid problem now.neck is more swollen and painfully sore to touch (lump)under jaw.when I cough can see movement in my neck where my thyroid is.so hope when i see dr tomorrow will get him to confirm it .he will dismiss it I know.cos bloods normal(or so thye say)whenia sked hwat about symtpoms -dont mean anything

Your thyroid is at the front and base of your neck so a swelling under your jaw is probably nothing to do with it. You have glands under your jaw which can swell and be painful.

can anything be done fro that(glands)?

Could just be a virus

Could be an infection. Also get it checked asap! peerdiagnosis.com/what-does...
