Thyroiditis

Today we had a patient return to thank us for referring her to an ENT.
She had a sore throat for weeks. Her physician had her on antibiotics but with no help.
On her dental examination we noted that she had swelling in her neck (near her Adam's Apple).
It turns out that her sore throat was due to Thyroiditis. An endocrinologist who completed a blood work up which diagnosed the condition. Fortunately the Thyroiditis resolved on its own.
