Patient's question:
Doctor, my child has congenital hypothyroidism and has been eating less, urinating and defecating less, slow growth and development, and poor appetite. What should I do? Is there a way to help enhance his thyroid function? Hello, what medicine can treat this condition well?Doctor's answer:
The child has congenital hypothyroidism, and their growth and development are not well-developed. It is necessary to promptly decide on oral medication to control the thyroid hormone levels within the normal range. On a daily basis, the child should consume iodized salt and eat more seafood, such as fish, etc. Additionally, irregular follow-up tests should be conducted to monitor hormone levels. There is no need to worry too much; adjusting the mindset appropriately is sufficient. As long as the function is normal, there is no need for special treatment.
