Children & Thyroid

[helentobia78]

Hi,

My son who is 4 has Down Syndrome & so far his thyroid testing has come back ok but I’m interested to see if anyone here has had any experience with this?

Thanks

Down syndrome has very close association with underactive thyroid.

You need to monitor him routinely as he will most likely develop this condition.

Google hypothyroid and down syndrome - you'll find plenty on this.

All the best to your little one ☺
