Hi Joji,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
What is the age of the child?
The normal levels of TSH will vary with the age.
I advise you to consult your pediatrician with the child to interpret the TSH report with his age so that it is known whether it is in normal range or not.
If it is suggestive of hypothyroidism, child should be treated with thyroid hormone to prevent the complications of hypothyroidism.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
