Dear Mr. XXXXXXX
As rightly said by your treating Doctor, There is no reason to continue the treatment as initially done by supplementing Tab thyronorm as the thyroid function tests are ok.
Moreover, the thyroid medication will hardly help to achieve further height that your daughter will be supposed to attain.
As you have said, you have family history of short height no further medicine will be of any help rather if any medication is administered without scientific rationality, it will cause further problem
It seems you are in right direction by accepting the advice of the treating Doctor.
