Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you described, it is best to consider treatment after confirmation. If it is confirmed to be hypothyroidism, lifelong thyroid hormone replacement therapy should be used: Early and mild cases are primarily treated with oral thyroid tablets or levothyroxine, along with symptomatic treatment: Middle and late severe cases, in addition to oral thyroid tablets or levothyroxine, require symptomatic treatment such as blood pressure support, oxygenation, intravenous fluids, infection control, and heart failure control.
