Brief Answer:
You can use it safely
Detailed Answer:
Hello...I understand your concern and by what you say your child may be having a global developmental delay because of birth asphyxia.
l-carnitine is a drug which can be helpful. But there are no specific scientific studies on this.
But it does not have any bad effects on the thyroid function.
You can use it.
