Question
What Are the Dangers of Hyperthyroidism in Newborns?
Answer
A slightly elevated thyroid level in newborns doesn’t require concern; just regular retesting is needed. If the level is significantly higher, it’s advisable to consult a hospital for further examination. An elevated thyroid hormone level could be physiological, and if retesting shows normal levels, there’s no problem. Thyroid hormone levels can fluctuate, and newborns’ T3 levels are also slightly higher than those of adults. So, you can rest easy.
