I want to know the next course of action. My daughters weight is 39 kg and it is not reducing. We checked her blood report and found TSH is 18.87.

TSH of 18.87 is high and indicates hypothyroidism, which can slow metabolism and cause weight gain or prevent weight loss. Please consult a pediatric endocrinologist and repeat the thyroid panel with Free T3, Free T4, and Anti TPO antibody tests to better assess thyroid function and confirm the diagnosis.

For the last four days, she has been taking Thyroxin 25. After starting the medicine, her whole body seems swollen and she feels sleepy throughout the day. She is 10 weeks pregnant. What should I do? Should I stop the thyroid medicine?

Hi, my thyroid test report shows a TSH value of 52.20, a T3 value of 107, and a T4 value of 6.3. Please suggest the appropriate medicine for this condition.
