Thyroiditis in children needs to be treated according to different causes.
If a child’s thyroiditis is acute suppurative thyroiditis, the treatment is anti-infection for treatment, you can apply broad-spectrum antibiotics such as penicillin.
If it’s subacute thyroiditis, the most common clinical symptom is a lump in the neck with pain, which can be treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for pain relief, such as diclofenac sodium.
In the case of chronic thyroiditis, the main concern is to monitor whether the child will develop hypothyroidism. Once hypothyroidism occurs, thyroid hormone replacement therapy must be actively carried out to prevent the child from affecting his or her height and intellectual development in the future.
If a child has thyroiditis, he or she should go to a hospital for standardized treatment under the guidance of a specialist.
