Thyroid drainage tube removal time

As we all know, our thyroid gland is very susceptible to disease. But sometimes, because we don't get timely treatment, the condition gets worse. So when treating the thyroid gland, do you know when the drainage tube should be removed? Although most of the time, nurses or caregivers will perform this operation, some patients' family members will remove it themselves. I hope everyone will consult a doctor for the specific time when removing it.

Lymph node is an organ unique to mammals (waterfowl also have two pairs of lymph nodes) and is an important immune organ in the human body. It is a round or oval structure, mostly concentrated in the neck, mesentery, axilla and groin, and connected to the lymphatic vessels. The superficial lymph nodes of normal people are very small, with a diameter of less than 0.5 cm. The surface is smooth and soft, with no adhesion to the surrounding tissues and no tenderness. Swollen lymph nodes are the beacon tower of the human body and an alarm device.
