A member asked:
Is it normal to have a protruding tongue for congenital hypothyroidism?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES.: One of the clinical signs of hypothyroidism is the enlargement of the tongue due to accumulation of( glycosaminoglycans) tissue . This condition is accompanied by other signs also. Since the tongue grows big, it will be a "normal" condition for the same to protrude.
