How long to re-examine after a newborn with positive TSH and negative PHE?

Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How often should the TSH be checked if it's positive and PHE is negative in newborns?

Doctor's answer:

Phe and TSH are both negative, indicating normality. If they are positive, it is advisable to visit the hospital for a follow-up examination early to avoid delaying the child's health. Phe is an indicator for phenylketonuria, and a negative result indicates normality. TSH is an indicator for congenital hypothyroidism.
Hello, this is not recommended for long-term use. Generally, it can be considered for one month, while also complementing it with dietary supplements. After all, "every medicine has three," and there are always some toxins.
