Patient's question:
I am a high school student. Recently, I have felt that my body temperature is a bit low, and I have no appetite, besides symptoms like dizziness and head. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that I have hypothyroidism. I would like to ask the doctor when to take levothyroxine sodium tablets for hypothyroidism. What should I eat in my condition?Doctor's answer:
The treatment course for hypothyroidism patients is prolonged, with some patients requiring treatment for up to 6 months to 2 years. The duration of treatment may vary depending on the specific condition. Follow the doctor's instructions for taking additional medications. Additionally, hypothyroidism patients should increase their intake of high-protein foods in daily life, consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, and follow a low-sodium, low-fat diet as the foundation of their diet.
