Could The Over Growth On Neck And Cheeks Be Related To Thyroid?
Hello Sir, Our Kid Age 13 Yrs seems that she has some problem (over growth on her neck and cheeks) when we approached a normal doctor they said she is been suffering from thyroid (as per Medical Report she is having TSH 150), so could you advice us treatment

Hi,
TSH of 150 with a neck swelling - suggests your kid is suffering from severe hypothyroidism. She should be immediately started on thyroid medications. I would suggest you to see a physician or endocrinologist too get started on thyroxine.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
