Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...my son is twelve, but the size of a normal adult. he has had weight gain, has now complained of a head ache for two weeks and a lump in his throat. he looks like he has a goiter and feels like it to. I took him in and they say his tsh is 1.37 and his t4 was 1.9 normal but he is miserable. do you think further testing is needed for the thyriod? can just the t3 show hypo and they didn t test that
Hi...as the TSH and T4 are normal it is unlikely to be a hypothyroidism. I suggest that we need to investigate for other causes of lump in the throat like a lymphadenopathy. I suggest doing an ultrasound of the throat for confirmation. Regards -
