Brief Answer:
Infectious cause should be looked for/ ruled out

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

Thyroid function tests alone would not suffice. A physical exam to look for focus of infection is required. The abdomen needs to be examined particularly for an enlarged spleen. Full blood count , ESR/CRP, MP test, Urinalysis can be done as part of an infection screen/ workup. Based on clinical impression and investigations antibiotics can then be advised , if necessary.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
