Question
Is a 3-year-old baby’s blood test TSH value of 5.952 a serious condition?
Answer
Hello, based on the situation you described, it is recommended to wait for a confirmed diagnosis before starting treatment. If diagnosed with hypothyroidism, lifelong thyroid hormone replacement therapy should be applied: early mild cases primarily involve oral thyroid tablets or levothyroxine, along with symptomatic treatment such as raising blood pressure, oxygen therapy, intravenous fluid administration, infection control, and control of heart failure.
