Patient's question:
My baby at home just gave birth. Today, the baby went for a good check-up. After the check-up, the doctor said that the TSH is high. I wonder what to do about this? I want to ask about the baby's disease screening with high TSH.Doctor's answer:
Infant screening TSH is high, review is still high, over 10. If it is still above 10 on the third test, normal other values will not affect the baby's intellectual development. Thyroid ultrasound is normal, usually it can recover. Don't mind. Mildly elevated TSH cannot be diagnosed as hypothyroidism. We don't need medication for now. We recommend a follow-up in 3 weeks, based on the brain CT results and the and symptoms.
