Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Hi,

TSH of 150 with a neck swelling - suggests your kid is suffering from severe hypothyroidism. She should be immediately started on thyroid medications. I would suggest you to see a physician or endocrinologist too get started on thyroxine.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
