Congenital hypothyroidism is mainly treated with oral levothyroxine sodium replacement therapy.
Patients with congenital hypothyroidism have reduced secretion of thyroid hormone. Early symptoms are atypical and may include constipation, abdominal distension, thinning of hair, delayed resolution of jaundice, etc. In the later stages of the disease, symptoms such as slowed growth and mental retardation may occur.
Treatment is mainly based on thyroid hormone supplementation, and levothyroxine sodium replacement therapy is usually chosen. During the treatment period, it is necessary to supplement all kinds of vitamins and nutrients to ensure the growth and development at the same time, and dynamically review the thyroid function and adjust the dosage of levothyroxine sodium.
It is recommended that patients with congenital hypothyroidism go to regular hospitals in time to improve the relevant examinations under the guidance of the doctor and standardize the treatment, so as to avoid delaying the condition or causing adverse reactions.
