My mom has had a lump in her neck for the past 20 years. She does not have any problems with the lump. We showed it to 2 to 3 doctors before, but they said there was nothing to worry about. Yesterday we went to an ENT specialist, and he said that her thyroid is swollen. He prescribed several tests. I am attaching the reports. Please tell me what they mean?

A lump on the front of the neck that has been stable for years is usually a benign thyroid swelling or goitre. If your mother has no pain, difficulty swallowing, or weight changes, it is likely non cancerous. Common causes: iodine deficiency, thyroid nodules, or cysts. Still, after so many years, its good to do a fresh thyroid test and ultrasound. if there are thyroid issues in the reports , then consult an endocrinologist
Dr. Yusuf Suggests...
Take a TSH Test (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) Test or Take a Free (FT4) Test Test

I am taking Thyronorm 75 mg for thyroid. In my current thyroid blood report, T3 is 86 ng/dl, T4 is 6 ng/dl, and TSH is 10.65 nIU/ml. My TSH is high. What should I do to control TSH, and do I need to increase my tablet from 75 mg to 100 mg? I am also very lean. Is this due to thyroid? Please suggest how I can gain some weight?
