You may be experiencing symptoms of an enlarged thyroid gland, also known as a goiter. In this case, you can try taking Levothyroxine (brand name Synthroid) at a dosage prescribed by your doctor to help regulate your thyroid function and reduce the size of the goiter. Additionally, you may benefit from taking Ibuprofen (brand name Advil) at a standard dosage to help reduce any inflammation that may be contributing to your difficulty swallowing.
