Swelling in the neck after a thyroidectomy can indicate several things, including normal post-operative inflammation, fluid accumulation, or complications such as hematoma or infection. While some degree of swelling is expected as the body heals, significant or worsening swelling may require medical evaluation to rule out serious issues. It's important to monitor for other symptoms, such as pain, redness, or difficulty breathing, and to follow up with your healthcare provider if concerns arise.
