Hi
Do You have Hypothyroidism during pregnancy? Was Newborn screening done for your baby and Was the screening abnormal ? these issues should be mentioned to answer your question.You consult a Pediatric endocrinologist/endocrinologist along with the thyroid profile report of your child before and after starting the Eltroxin tablets and he will interpret the results and give proper advise.
