Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. TSH of less than 20 at this age doesn't require any treatment. I suggest you consult your pediatrician as different labs have different normal values. Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
