There is Possibility of hypothyroidism in such case.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking Health care magic forum.

I have gone through your query. Low body temperature and difficulty in loosing weight can be due to hypothyroidism. In hypothyroidism there is low metabolism so this can occur.

It is better to run thyroid profile test. A high TSH level is characteristic for hypothyroidism. Cholesterol level also can be high in such case. So better to run Serum cholesterol levels also.

Hypothyroidism can be treated well nowadays. By taking thyroxine supplement and regularly monitoring TSH at proper intervals will be helpful for this.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Cold and cough is not related to hypothyroidism.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and Welcome.

Thank you for your follow up query.

Cold and cough are not related to hypothyroidism. In case of allergic rhinitis or sinusitis this can occur. Examination by ENT specialist will help to rule out this. Taking Vitamin C chewable form regularly will be helpful to prevent this also.

In case allergic rhinitis you should stay away from irritating agents like dust. For sinusitis proper antibiotic therapy and use of nasal decongesants will be helpful.

Let me know if anything not clear. I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
