Thyroid disorders cause a sore throat.
the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 1 against
Is it true that thyroid disorders cause a sore throat?
Partly. One item is a reference list from a systematic review on local symptoms of Hashimoto's thyroiditis that cites a paper on serious sore throat, hinting at a link; another item attributes post-thyroidectomy sore throat to anesthesia and intubation rather than to the thyroid disorder itself. Neither item directly establishes that thyroid disorders cause sore throat.
