Lymph node swelling with thyroid cancer is a serious thing. While sometimes swelling can be due to minor infections, for cancer, it's very different. My aunt had some swellings and it needed immediate medical attention. Don't try any home remedies for this, please see a doctor immediately for diagnosis and treatment.

Look, for something as critical as cancer spreading to lymph nodes, you absolutely cannot rely on internet advice or random remedies. Thyroid cancer usually affects cervical lymph nodes (in the neck), but you NEED to verify this with an oncologist. Go to a specialist, get scans, and follow their treatment plan. No shortcuts here.
