HI...usually a TSH value of morethan 20 only need to be reacted to immediately and is associated with adverse effects to the brain. But the values vary depending on the labs and their reference ranges. If possible get back to me with the reference ranges of the lab in which you have done the test.

I wish your kid a speedy recovery. If you need any future medical consultation and suggestions, I will be glad to help. You can approach me at the following link. Please find the link below -
