General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I would like to tell you that enlarged adenoids are mostly cured with antibiotic and steroid therapy. Your daughter has already been started on an antibiotic course so it should resolve in a few days.

Adenoidectomy is needed in cases which do not resolve by Medical therapy. Your daughter's TSH level is very high, and she will be required to take the Thyronorm tablet for a long time.

There is a chance that she may have to take it lifelong depending upon her thyroid levels. You have to get her screened regularly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nazma.Amman
