Patient Question: 1. According to my husband’s condition, is it subacute thyroiditis or hyperthyroidism, and how should I treat it so that it doesn’t come back? 2. I read some knowledge about subacute thyroiditis on the Internet, saying that it is caused by a virus and that anti-viral medication should be used, and that it is easy to relapse with hormone medication only. How should I use the medication? Reply: 1. It is difficult to determine whether your husband is suffering from subthyroiditis or hyperthyroidism based on the condition you provided. It is not possible to determine what kind of disease it is. However, regardless of whether it is hyperthyroidism or subthyroiditis, your husband has hyperthyroidism and therefore requires antihyperthyroid medication, but there is a difference in the dosage of these two basic medications. Generally, the dosage of hyperthyroidism is higher, while the dosage of subthyroiditis is smaller and should be reduced in time. 2. If you are diagnosed with subluxation and have significant neck pain, you need to apply prednisone treatment, generally at a dose of 3-6 tablets/day, and gradually reduce the dose after two weeks of use, but some people tend to have pain again in the middle of the reduction. Although subluxation is caused by a viral infection, but because there is no identified effective antiviral drugs, and the onset of subluxation is generally the end of the viral infection, so generally do not use antiviral drugs. The prednisone drug has a short duration of action and generally has little effect on the human body after a week of discontinuation, so there is no impact on your pregnancy plans after a period of discontinuation of the drug. Since your husband’s disease has not been cured, it is recommended that you plan to get pregnant after the disease is cured.
