Hi base don your values of thyroid profile,your baby had hypothyroidism, which needs thyroid supplementation.The symptoms of constipation, delayed dentition,decreased activity will result from low thyroid levels in the body.So ,consult a child specialist/ Endocrinologist and start your child on thyroid supplementation.
