My 40-year-old daughter is a vocalist who has been diagnosed with an infected throat and was prescribed an antibiotic. The doctor also discovered something on her thyroid through palpation.

What is the best approach to get an accurate diagnosis and best treatment? Are there nonsurgical ways to deal with an enlarged thyroid?
