Methamizole is a anti thyroid drug used in treatment of hyperthyroidism. It is not a steroid. Since you are using it for long time it has decreased your thyroid function and caused hypothyroidism. You may need to reduce the dosage so that your thyroid function recovers
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist or endocrinologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
