Hi welcome to the health care magic
Here you are having multiple nodules in thyroid with hypoechocity....
So here don't directly think about malignancy .....
Your work up done in following way .....
-Serum TSH
-Serum T4 (free)
-FNAC
-If FNAC suspicious for malignancy than biopsy done for histopathology examination
According to these report further management will be decided
Take care
Consult ENT surgeon for examination and further work up
