Sore throat: how to treat it (if possible)?

Lately, I’ve been noticing this persistent feeling of tightness in my throat—it’s getting progressively worse, and frankly, I’m not a fan. Some people claim it’s an iodine deficiency, but I don't know much about the science behind that. What I *do* know is that this sensation seems to be creeping up right alongside some extra weight gain and stubborn fat deposits. It might be a stretch to say they're linked, but the timing is hard to ignore. Is there actually any way to shut this down and get things back under control?

You should really take a look at those thyroid issues—when things get out of whack there, it can definitely lead to a goiter.
There’s actually a good amount of info on this already if you dig through the forum posts... just a quick scroll through the archives should give you what you need.
