Hypothyroidism in kid
My 4 year kid has been recently tested with hypothyroidism. Done testing with different good labs and have TSH of 7.4 and 9.6 but T3/ T4 are in range. He is otherwise active and no concerns except for feeling of tiredness after coming from outside sometimes and/ or leg pain.
Does he needs medication at this age?

3 month baby sleep and gas problem
My 3 month baby falls asleep but not stays asleep for more than 15-30 min in daytime. He takes 8-9 hours of sleep at night(with feeding breaks). He has gained weight and wetting more than 8 diapers daily. But he wants to take feeding at almost every hour. I'm mostly breastfeeding him, twice or thrice a week I need to give him formula bottle if he seems very hungry. My breastmilk comes for 10-15 mins in one time, after that if i press and check, there is no milk coming so if he is awake, I change the side.
He is also passing gas (farting and crying at the same time) very much, mostly more than 15-20 times a day(every time we take him on our shoulder for burping or put him down on bed ).
I'm confused about what I'm doing wrong here.

Frequent urination
My child is 3 yr old. He is going to pee very frequently within every 10 min or sometimes mostly before sleeping he just go after every 2 min. And he when he sleeps overnight he doesn't pee . He doesn't have fever or pain while peeing. I showed him to pediatrician she asked to do urine routine test. 1-2 pus cells were there so she gave antibiotic after that 60-80% improvement observed. After that again same thing he is doing from yesterday. I don't understand what it could be? Pediatrician checked him when i visited first so she said nothing could be major. But now again he is going to pee frequently what it could be?

3.5 month old baby difficult in breathin
My 3.5 month old baby had difficulty in breathing for 3-4 minutes in the night, baby starts grunting and crying and chest retractions are also happening. This has happened thrice in 7 days and only in the night around 3 or 4 am . I have immediately gone to hospital and got this checked, made video of chest retractions to show doctor. Doctor has checks her lungs and heart rate heartbeat and oxygen saturation, throat, everything is normal, she does not have cold and cough as well, she is active all day, takes feed well too, she has reflux though from the starting, she spits milk and it seems to increased now because of cold weather. Doctor had diagnosed that her nose gets blocked at night due to temperature drop in the night and that's why this is happening and have asked me to give naso clear daily and nasivion for 3 days and nebulizer for 3 days and says everything is normal with heart and lungs. Can you suggest if I should get further evaluation like chest x ray and echo?
