Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
There's no particular timeline that stands true for all patients, it depends on many factors such as age of diabetes onset, control of blood sugars, lifestyle and regular check ups.

View allI'm currently taking 25mcg thyronorm tablets for my high TSH levels. I'm wondering if I should still take my thyronorm tablet on the morning of my thyroid blood test. Will it mess up the results? What's the best way to handle this?
For a 3-year-old with recurring fever (101F) every 8 hours, without cough, sneezing, or rash: Consider consulting a pediatrician to rule out underlying infections. Ibuprofen (Ibuges ic) help manage fever. Ensure the child stays hydrated with plenty of fluids. Monitor for any new symptoms. If fever persists or worsens, seek immediate medical attention

I have thyroid nodules in both lobes - one is 4x4 mm and the other is 1x1 mm on the right side. The FNAC report suggests excision biopsy for possible papillary carcinoma, but my thyroid is enlarged with normal T3/T4 and TSH at 5.02 which is almost at the upper limit. Is thyroidectomy absolutely necessary or are there other treatment options to shrink these nodules without surgery?
thyroidectomy (thyroid removal surgery) may be necessary for larger or suspicious nodules, especially if the FNAC report suggests possible papillary carcinoma, other treatment options, such as watchful waiting, thyroid hormone therapy, or radiofrequency ablation (RFA), are available to shrink or manage thyroid nodules. The decision of whether to proceed with thyroidectomy or other treatments will depend on the size, nature, and suspiciousness of the nodules, as well as the patient's overall health and preferences.
