Patient's question:

Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has become problematic. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. Can infant hypothyroidism be cured?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to what you said, hypothyroidism in infants is relatively easy to treat because hypothyroidism should be detected and treated early. Hypothyroidism can affect an infant's intelligence and slow growth and development, causing dull expressions, slow reactions, difficulty crying, and increased deep sleep. The child may also experience abdominal pain, poor absorption, rough skin, and facial edema. It can be taken orally, and the thyroid function should be adjusted back to normal as early as possible.
