Auto immune thyroid disease basically means our own immune system is damaging thyroid gland because of some internal immune abnormalities. Usually this condition is permanent and you need to take these medications all your life. You need to get thyroid function tests repeatedly to adjust the dosage. Usually these medications are safe and won't cause any problems
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist or endocrinologist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
