The 8-year-old girl may have pain in the middle and late stage of thyroid tumor.
For patients with thyroid tumor, if the tumor in middle or late stage develops metastasis, pain in corresponding parts may occur, such as bone metastasis, pain in bones of the whole body; lung metastasis, pain in chest; gastrointestinal metastasis, pain in abdomen.
When the tumor is in the middle or late stage, the invaded area is larger and harder, which will lead to the pressure of local tissues and sympathetic nerves, and pain in the neck and larynx, and the invasion of the cervical plexus may lead to the pain in the ear, occiput, shoulder and other places. In addition, children are more sensitive to pain than adults, and will feel pain and discomfort when the above situations occur.
Children with thyroid tumor should be treated as early as possible, usually through surgical resection. Children belong to a special group, their body immunity and psychological tolerance are not perfect, when pain occurs, they should do a good job of psychological appeasement and emotional stabilization, and exercise appropriately to strengthen the resistance.
At the same time, they should have regular checkups, especially those with family history of thyroid tumor, to achieve early prevention, early detection and early treatment.
