Hi,

Most of hypothyroidism patients are without symptoms. Developmental delay, short stature, weight gain and constipation are usual symptoms in this age.

Please let me know your thyroid function test reports. It is unusual to have hypothyroidism at this age if your new born thyroid screening tests are normal.

Usual dose in 2 year old is around 50-75 mcg of thyroxine - again depending on thyroid function reports.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Regards
