Suggest Treatment For Borderline Thyroid Levels In A Child
I have a 5 yr old son that has had some weird symptoms and they tested his thyroid. They said it was borderlin at 5.3. I also have thyroid problems for 12 years now and had the radioactive soulution done on it. The doc said he would recheck after 6 weeks...do you think they will have to put him on meds eventually
