Thyroglossal Cyst Removal

Postby littlebitloopy » Sat Sep 20, 2014 10:16 am

Hi all!

My daughter who is 2 and a half has been diagnosed with a Thyroglossal Cyst. Because of the complications that can occur with this condition, our consultant has advised surgical removal. I'm very confident with our consultant (he's an ENT specialist and well over qualified for the job), I'm just mega nervous about my daughter's recovery from surgery.

I've researched online and read leaflets which give the same sort of 'your child will experience moderate pain' information, but if anyone has any history with their LO undergoing this surgery, I'd really appreciate your advice.

Thanks, Worried Mum :|

Yes- my daughter had surgery at 20 months to remove a thyroglossal cyst. It was a stressful time but she was incredibly well-looked after and was /is absolutely fine. Surgery took 2.5 hours and but she was discharged same day with only Calpol for pain relief and was charging around like a lunatic the following day! I will PM you my email and phone number as would be very happy to have a chat.
