Hypothyroidism. On Levothyroxine. Side Effects From Consuming Lemon-honey Water?

Hello Doctor,
I have a hypothyroid. Daily morning i take thyroid tablets(LevoThyroxine-0.05mg(50mcg)). After an hour gap i take warm milk with no sugar. In the daytime i'll have warm water with one lemon piece(quater part of the whole lemon). Please advice if lemon-honey water is right to consume while having hypothyroid or will it nullify the medicine effect ?? or any side effects??

Hypothyroidism on should take iodized salt. Your diet depend on your weight if you are overweight then take low calories in diet and adequate exercise.To keep your weight to near ideal level.There are no side effects of lemon and honey.
Place take your thyroxine regularly and periodic checkup of FT3,FT4,and TSH.
