Abstract
Thyroid hormone plays a critical role in normal growth and development in children, particularly during the first 3 years of life. Paediatric patients with suspected hypothyroidism should be treated without delay with levothyroxine monotherapy. The levothyroxine dosage required to restore normal thyroid gland function depends on the age of the patient and the severity of the hypothyroidism. Whether or not subclinical hypothyroidism should be treated is an area of debate, as the precise neurodevelopmental risks it poses remain uncertain.
