Had Sistrunk Procedure And Feel Weird At Where Cyst Was Located, Told To Be Scar Tissue. Tonsil Swollen

Not a cancer, just irritation from scar
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I am dr XXXXXXX and I will try my level best to address your concerns.
Its not a cancer, it most likely is irritation around the scar. Please relax, and try to avoid poking the area of the scar with repeated tongue touches or hand touch.
Now let me answer your question as per appearance.
1) The sistrunk procedure is a method to remove it from all the points including its branches so its highly unlikely to reoccur.
2) Yes the biopsy may have been done if there was any suspicion of cancer, so I don't think their was even a slight doubt about the cancer. Please calm down.
3) Now it will move as its connected to the tongue since the thyroid gland originates near tongue and then migrates to the throat, the line of migration sometimes stays and its known as thyroglossal tract. Nothing to worry. There is no chances of throat cancer.
Thanks for the query, Please feel free to contact me in case of further concerns.
Dr XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
