Yes,if hypothroid develops in children it affects the body growth. At TSH 40.07 you need to increase the dose of thyronorm.

Hi. Your thyroid levels appear not to be controlled for quite a some time. Thyroid hormones are required for adequate growth and development. So be in regular follow up with your endocrinologist and make sure your thyroid hormones are maintained in the normal range. Also you may need additional hormonal evaluation depending on physical examination. So kindly meet an endocrinologist and get it sorted out. Thank you. Take care.
