Children with hyperthyroidism may have enlarged thyroid glands, bulging eyes, and a hypermetabolic state.
In hyperthyroidism, the level of thyroid hormone in the blood is too high, and a hypermetabolic state may occur, including palpitations, irritability, restlessness, insomnia, diarrhea or increased frequency of bowel movements, excessive appetite, fear of heat, as well as excessive sweating, lack of concentration, and shaking of the hands and feet.
In addition, hyperthyroidism may be accompanied by enlargement of the thyroid gland to varying degrees, with a diffuse goiter that is medium in texture and without tenderness, as well as thyroid synostosis, which may include simple synostosis and infiltrative synostosis.
If you find a child with suspected symptoms of hyperthyroidism, you should go to the hospital in time, and ask the doctor to make a judgment based on the specific situation, to avoid delaying the disease.
