Brief Answer:
Infection or hypothyroidism could be possible causes. Evaluation required.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

You should definitely see a doctor without delay. There are two things that primarily need to be excluded:
* Low levels of thyroid hormones
* Infection.

Hope that helps.
