Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My son who has Down Syndrome and PANS has a TSH level of 24 with normal T3 and T4. He was taking 112 mcg of Synthroid. His PANS doctor increased the Synthroid to 150 mcg. He has been experiencing fatigue, lethargy, poor processing cognitively and moodiness. Is this the correct dose?
Child dose is=10-15 micro.gm/kg/day.The dose should be adjusted to maintain the total thyroxine in the upper half of the normal range(10-16 mocro.gm/dl in the first 2 yrs of life).
