Thyroid in pregnancy 🤷🏽‍♀️

So I jut got over a bad cold... am actually still dealing with the congestion.... but today the front of my throat hurt. Like to touch... was told to go to medexpress to make sure it wasn’t strep. Throat looked fine... the doc suggested it could be thyroiditis. Basically inflammation of the thyroid gland... I see my OB in two weeks and was instructed to have them do some blood work to check thyroid levels. Anyone have any experience with this? Or possibly just so sore from coughing that the outside is sore to touch...
