I think strep can damage the thyroid.
A friend of mine had a serious strep infection, and just a few months later, her thyroid swelled up, and eventually developed nodules and 1/2 had to be removed.
She said at the time to me that her doctor thought it was connected to the strep. Seems strep can induce autoimmune disease in some people.
