In a firm, but as controlled and pleasant a manner as you are able, DEMAND a referral at paediatrician - preferably one who is well-versed in thyroid issues. If the doctor still refuses, then demand a second opinion and get the refusal in writing.
(Yes - I appreciate this is not easy. Do your best. )
Has she been tested? Have you got the results? (Include reference ranges if you can.)

Hi jess has been tested the consultant at hosp say she's borderline her tsh was 4.9 and her t3 was low but they haven't given me numbers except the dermatologist on tues told me she's got very high results and was hypo in he's thoughts
Please can you try to get hold of all of the results and ranges and post hem ob here - her results do seem to suggest hypothyroidism. Xxx
