You still seems to be having hypothyroidism and it is normal have fluctuations of thyroid hormone levels. I don't think it is anyway related to homeo treatment. Still your TSH levels are high. You need to get test known as ANTI TPO antibody which will tell about auto immune thyroid problems which are usually permanent. You may need increase in eltroxin doses too
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
