Steam therapy for breathing issues after thyroid removal
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether breathing in steam can help with sore throat, cough, or other breathing problems that sometimes happen after a thyroid surgery. If you had a thyroid tumor removed and are having these symptoms, this treatment might help you feel better.
