Brief Answer:
Need treatment for hypothyroidism.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

She has b thalassemia trait. It doesn't require any treatment throughout life.

She also has hypothyroidism. It means her body is not producing enough thyroid hormones. So she need thyroid supplements. She has been given thyronorm for that. She needs treatment for thyroid only. Continue thyronorm as per your doctor's advice.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
