Hypothyroidism with thyroid enlargement can be treated with medications under a doctor's guidance, such as levothyroxine (Euthyrox) or sodium levothyroxine tablets. If the thyroid enlargement is severe and affects swallowing or breathing, surgical intervention under medical guidance is recommended to improve the condition. Proper postoperative care should be taken to minimize adverse reactions.
