Last year my wife got chicken pox after getting the chicken pox well, We saw that her throat has a swelling on the left side, then we went to a thyroid Dr. He told that it a thyroid nodule and it occurs due to iron deficiency, lot of fluid was gathered in her throat and he said that there is no permanent treatment for this besides getting the fluid out by a treatment after every 6 months. So I want to know that is there any treatment for this? And why it occurred after chicken pox? Do we consult to a ent Dr. Pls help because that is appearing again and looking very bad on her neck.

Thyroid nodule can only be removed by surgery , no medicines will help . You need to first find out the status of the nodule and thyroid functioning by blood test and FNAC and other investigations. Please consult a specialist for the same. There is no relation between chicken pox and thyroid nodule. And it is due to iodine deficiency and not iron as you have written
