Symptoms of hypothyroidism in three month old infants

summary

Hypothyroidism is a common autoimmune disease. Thyroid hormone can promote the growth of the central nervous system. From fetal to infancy, the lack of thyroid hormone will seriously damage brain development, leading to growth retardation and mental impairment. Although the incidence of neonatal hypothyroidism is not very high. But we must not ignore the harm of the disease to children. Now I'd like to introduce the symptoms of hypothyroidism in three month old infants.
