Dont Know Where to Ask Posted: 06-02-05 12:09pm


Hi, my mom is having some problem in her throut for sometime now I think its been over an year and we have consulted with many docs but the medication dosent seem to help her. She says that she has difficulty swallowing and she feels blisters in her mouth and throut. But the docs are saying that she would be ok after the medication but shes not. I dont even know whats actually wrong with her throut and since its not getting any better after so long im scared it might turn into something major. So pls can some one help me. I dont know whom to ask and im really scared.

Thryoid Problem? Posted: 07-23-05 03:49am


Hi, I am a nuclear medicine technologist, and to me your mother sounds like she could possibly have a goiter on her thyroid. To check for this she should have some lab work done to check for the levels of hormone her thyroid is putting out. Also she might want to ask her doctor about having a thyroid uptake and scan, which is an outpatient test that involves taking a tiny dose of radioactive iodine (not even as much radiation as a chest xray) which will allow for images to be taken to show the thyroid function. There are no side affects from this test. Very easy tests that will definitely show if it is the thyroid! Take care and good luck...
