Subacute Thyroiditis is an acute inflammatory disease of the thyroid which is caused by a virus.  It leads to discomfort and pain in the thyroid gland.  The pain may last for a few weeks and in extreme cases it can last for a month or more.  Symptoms of this disease are fever, fatigue, tenderness in the thyroid, and pain in the neck, jaw, or ears.  Most treatments use an anti-inflammatory medication.  In severe cases, a steroid can be used such as prednisone.  More information is available at these two websites:
