Thyroid gland diseases are not only common in adults but also commonly seen in the age group of 7 to 15 years old. They are typically hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. If the child falls into the case of thyroid dysfunction without being timely diagnosed and treated, they will face many serious complications for both their physical and mental development.
Therefore, parents need to take the initiative to take their children to the doctor for routine screening of thyroid gland once or two times a year. Through clinical examination and conducting related tests, especially thyroid gland ultrasound, doctors will give the most accurate diagnosis of a child’s health status. At the same time, parents are also consulted about the method of caring and preventing thyroid gland diseases among children effectively.
