Hello,

Treatment for enlarged thyroid is surgical removal. However, before that we have to confirm whether it is hypo or hyperthyroidism.

As both can cause enlargement and post-surgical also differ in both conditions, prior ruling out is utmost important.

So, get your thyroid profile done and consult an ENT or surgery specialist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
