Suggest treatment for hyperthyroidism and motion sickness in kids
Patient: Hello sir! My four and half year daughter have thyroid by birth. She is currently on thyroxin 50. Inspite of taking the medicine regularly her TSH is still high. Around a week back when I got it checked it was 21. Sir she also has motion sickness and has issues with vomitting. She is always coughing and in the process vomitts whatever she eats. With slight change in weather she always catches cold. Sir please advice me on the further course of action and also let me know which hospital I should take her. Doctor: Dear Sir/ Madam,Thank you for posting your query at healthcaremagic.comI understand the concern of your daughter from birth. It appears that the dose thyroxin is not sufficient. I advice you to get further blood test and nuclear scanning of the thyroid done and consult pediatric endocrinologist for further course of action.Regarding motion sickness she can take domeperidon syrup (SOS). Modify food habits, for eg. multiple small meal in a day.IF you have any further query please revert back to me, I wil be happy to assist you.With best wishes.Dr. Vishwanath Patil
