10 yr ol daughter with small cyst

Hi !  I am 31 yrs old and had a goiter about 3 yrs ago so I had my thyroid partially removed.  I have a 10 yr old daughter whos thyroid looked enlarged to me so I brought her into her doctor and blood tests were all normal. I pushed for an  ultrasound on her thyroid,and it came back  with a small cyst on the left side.  They tell me not to worry and to come back in 3mts but I am terrifified does anyone know anything about this?

Who classified the tests as 'normal' ?
Children tend to have higher levels than adults.
I would ask for antibody testing to be done to rule out an Autoimmune Disease.
