My daughter is 14 yrs & has Down syndrome hence we keep a regular monitoring of thyroid levels. Her latest report shows TSH-5.25, T3-113, T4-7.7 Her Doctor says no medication even though TSH is just on the margin & he feels there are no clinical symptoms, she is normal weight 38kg , height 5 feet. Need suggestions please.

This is subclinical hypothyroidism and need not be treated unless she has symptoms of hypothyroidism or is Anti TPO antibody positive
