A member asked:
If you are hypothyroid, could a common cold make your old thyroid symptoms come back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: There is a type of hypothyroidism that is caused by a virus, most likely related to the common cold virus. If your symptoms become worse, you need to increase the amount of thyroid medication that you are taking. I hope this is helpful for you!
