Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your daughter has Borderline TSH and T4. No need to start drugs directly.
Many a times its come down to normal range. So in my opinion you should repeat her T3, T4 and TSH level after 3 months and plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
