What Does Swelling In The Throat Indicate?
My name is Susan I am 20 years old, my throat has been growing larger in a certain area but I thought it was the bad cold. As time went on, my throat has continued to swell up even more and also my eyeballs. Any idea what endocrine disorder this might be?

Hello,
First of all, rule out common endocrine disorder in a female that is hypothyroidism. For that investigate with serum TSH, free T4 estimation. Provide that report for giving further comment.
If the thyroid is okay, then further detail history is taken, and physical examination is done to do further workup. Consult a physician for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
