The doctor recommended injecting growth hormone.
Doctor's answer:
According to the child's test results, the child's developmental delay may be related to hypothyroidism. You must further investigate the underlying causes and take thyroid hormone tablets under the guidance of a doctor. If there is an underlying primary disease, relevant treatment must still be implemented. Without controlling the disease, it may be necessary to continue medication and treatment. If hypothyroidism is diagnosed, most likely lifelong medication is required to regulate the excretion of thyroid hormones in the body, usually long-term use of levothyroxine. You need to consult an endocrinology specialist to develop an appropriate plan to prevent over-medication leading to hyperthyroidism and regularly check thyroid function indicators. Under the guidance of a doctor, growth hormone injections can be administered to promote the child's growth and development. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to enhancing nutrition, ensuring adequate physical activity and exercise to strengthen the body.
