Brief Answer:
To continue Thyroxin 25
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the reports.
Sorry for the delay in my response
I have gone through the reports.
Growing children do need good amount of thyroid hormone, any level of TSH more than 5.5 is considered needing treatment.
Do continue the Thyroxin 25mg and keep checking the TSH at regular intervals of 6 months. The treatment can be stopped when the TSH goes below 1, if not continuing the treatment is necessary.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
