I just found out my TSH level is 9.25, but I read that the normal range is around 5.5. I'm not sure what to do next. Is there any medication I should consider? By the way, I'm breastfeeding my 8-month-old baby. I'm a bit worried about how this might affect my health and my ability to care for my child. What would you recommend?

A TSH value of 9.25 is slightly above the normal range, indicating potential hypothyroidism. Since you're breastfeeding, it's important to consult your doctor to assess whether medication is needed. They may recommend further thyroid function tests and suggest a treatment plan that is safe during breastfeeding.

I've had uneven breast size since I was young and it's really bothering me. Who should I talk to about this if I don't want surgery? What could be causing this and are there any non-surgical options to help balance them out?

Patching can help in early intermittent exotropia, especially in young children; surgery is reserved if patching fails to improve eye alignment.
