Not all thyroid swelling need surgery, you need to do 3 basic investigations i) USG Neck to know the extent also secondary changes with the gland, lymphnodes that are clinically not palpable
ii)Thyroid profile - Free T3,Free T4 and TSH( SHOULD BE GIVE IN EMPTY STOMACH)
iii)FNAC of the gland to know the present status of the gland , to rule out malignancy
Your treatment can be planned accordingly
