Is It Necessary To Have Ebixid For Mildly Elevated TSH During Pregnancy?
Question: Hi, I am 6 week pregnant and my S-TSH result is 5.52 UIU/ml (0.35 to 0.50 is suggested as normal). My gynaecologist had advice EBEXID once in a day empty stomach. My question is: is it advisable to take this medicine as TSH is only margimarginally high?
Brief Answer:
It is safe to take ebexid
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
The normal serum TSH range is 3.5 to 5.5 IU/ml in normal individual. In.case of pregnancy we need to follow different cut off value - its 2.5
So even slight elevation also needs to start thyroid medication.
Thyroid hormone play a very important role in early development of embryo. Most early abortions can be attributed to thyroid abnormalities. So this medicine is apt and safe.

Hello dear,I got your query.
In my opinion for cold you can take paracetamol 3 - 4 times a day with decongestants like tab. doxinate or cetirizine once a day. Avoid intake of chilled items.
Have lukewarm water for intake and gargling with warm salt water twice a day for 2 to 3 days.You might not need antibiotics.
