Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My TSH was .016 and my T3 and T4 are normal range. I have also been have a bad throat. I have to clear it out all the time. But I am also taking some supplementary pills should I stop them. I have to repeat me TSH next week will that effect my TSH result?
Having throat pain doesn't affect thyroid function also thyroid doesn't cause it. You can continue taking supplements despite them containing iodine ,because they don't change the test results of TSH.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
