Hi,

Sore throat and cough does not affect thyroid test results. Your TSH levels and TPO values are above normal limits. You are hypothyroid and should be started with levothyroxine supplement, if not yet started. I suggest to start with a lower dose of 12.5 to 25 mcg. The drug should be taken everyday, first thing in the morning, atleast half an hour before food. Repeat the test after a month for further titration of the dose.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
