Help: It is not clear if you or your daughter are on thyroid meds. Your dr will give you the most accurate diagnosis, if there is need for it, you may seek a second opinion, or consult a specialized center. Keep up hope, and your daughter will feel better if only because of it. Don t let this alter much your/her normal life. Good luck to you and your little daughter.
