What Causes Tsh Level Low Swollen Neck?

My daughter is 10.5 years old and her tsh level is below the reference range. Her neck is slightly swollen in front so I believe she is hyperthyroid. What is the solution/ remedy/ medicine at this age? I know about hyperthyroidism because I developed Graves disease when I was 21.

Hi...this is definite sign that your daughter is developing hyperthyroidism. I suggest you consult a pediatric endocrinologist regarding this. She needs further evaluation for even auto immune thyroiditis. Please do not delay and consult a pediatric endocrinologist as soon as possible.
