Similar to adults, babies and children can have thyroid problems too.
>It occurs when the thyroid gland is underactive, absent or not fully formed.
In Malaysia, the incidence of congenital hypothyroidism published in local studies range from one in 1,170 to 3,666 live births.Higher cases being reported may be related to lower screening thresholds used, resulting in detection of mild cases. Now, with early diagnosis and treatment, babies with congenital hypothyroidism will be able to develop normally, both physically and mentally.Also known as Hashimoto’s disease, autoimmune thyroiditis usually occurs in older children.
However, over the weeks and months, the hyperactive phase will pass and the thyroid gland will become underactive, resulting in low thyroid hormones instead, i.e. hypothyroidism. However, excessive iodine can also result in hypothyroidism by affecting the production of thyroid hormones.
