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

You have hypothyroidism. Synthroid is not used for throat pain. It is thyroid supplement drugs. Your thyroid is not producing enough hormones so you need external support. Your hair loss and thinning of hair may be due to hypothyroidism. So you should check your TSH level and take synthroid accordingly. Also go for ultrasound thyroid once to search the cause of pain.

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 very good health.
