hi Doctor My Kid( Male) 1year and 8 months old is having thyroglossal cyst, Suggest me Pls. is this age is advisable for a surgery? Is there is any other treatment other than surgery is availabl Thanks Ragesh Shankar YYYY@YYYY
Hi, I understand your concern about your child.  Before proceeding for Hypoglossal cyst surgery, you need to confirm the position and function of normal thyroid tissues.  It is not an emergency surgery unless it get infected. Age of surgery varies with individual child Chat Doctor.  Other than surgery, chemotherapy (injecting medicine into the cyst) can be done.  I would advise you to get pediatric surgeon opinion for further management and follow up. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
