What symptoms can you understand that children may have thyroid problems?

The Dhaka Times Desk In many children, the thyroid gland takes time to mature. And then the immature thyroid gland cannot supply enough thyroid to the body. What are the symptoms to understand that your child has thyroid?

Although it is a congenital disease, in most cases the problem is not understood right after birth. But because of that problem, you have to suffer for life. Abnormal secretion of hormones from the thyroid gland, from physical growth to mental growth, lags behind. In medical science, the name of this disease is 'congenital hypothyroidism' (CH).

Doctors said that this disease is seen due to thyro hormone deficiency. The thyroid gland is normally located in the throat of the human body. But those whose thyroid gland is under the tongue or in other parts are affected by this problem. Again, this problem occurs even if the gland does not produce the right amount of hormones.

The work of making this gland starts in the initial stage of pregnancy i.e. in the fetal stage. Many children may have thyroid problems from birth. Many children often do not develop a thyroid gland. Immature thyroid gland cannot supply enough thyroid to the body. Most of the causes of hypothyroidism in newborns are hereditary. Also, this disease can sometimes be caused due to lack of iodine in the body. Basically iodine helps in the production of thyroid hormones.

What are the symptoms to understand that the child has thyroid

# Baby is very sleepy and not wanting to eat at all.

# Hypothyroidism causes jaundice after birth. In this case, children suffer from many physical problems for several days.

# Children should be cautious if they suddenly gain too much weight.

# can also cause constipation in babies.

# Sometimes the child has chills even if there is no fever. Muscle capacity is not seen much in the body.

However, having these symptoms does not necessarily mean that your baby has a thyroid problem. But be careful. If a baby is born with a thyroid problem, normal development can also be disrupted. Therefore, it is wise to get a thyroid test once such symptoms appear. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
