I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. There is no definitive treatment of painful subacute thyroiditis. An effective treatment is that which will ameliorate the symptoms and allow the disease to run its spontaneous course in an asymptomatic manner. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been used in patients with mild or moderate forms of the disorder. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
