Patient's question:
When my daughter was a newborn, the doctor said she had a congenital disease. The screening result was: TSH; 111.00. My daughter is exactly 31 days old today. What kind of assistance is needed: Can congenital hypothyroidism be cured?Doctor's answer:
1. Adopt thyroxine replacement therapy;2. Undergo standard treatment for 2-3 years, then discontinue medication for 1 month, followed by re-examination of thyroid function, thyroid ultrasound, or thyroid isotope scanning. If it is transient CH, discontinue medication and follow up periodically. If it is permanent hypothyroidism, lifelong treatment is required;
3. Periodically conduct physical and intellectual growth and development assessments.
