Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Looking like Ur child had Hypothyroidism based on TSH levels & symptoms of prolonged menstrual bleed. Just repeat Thyroid profile after 1 week TSH freeT3 & T4. If again high TSH is found your child should take tab. Thyronorm daily morning before bf.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
