The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in your throat, and it can become enlarged causing a change of your voice or a swollen throat. It’s important to be able to detect whether the gland has become larger than usual, since a growth can mean something serious. You can actually check this yourself by noticing if there is any swelling on the outside that you never saw before. It can also feel swollen or bigger when you touch it. Of course, it’s always best to get a professional medical opinion so if you are worried that it could be a thyroid issue, have a doctor check it as soon as possible.
