A low T4 level in a newborn indicates that the baby is deficient in thyroid hormones.
A low T4 level in a newborn indicates that the baby has a deficiency of thyroid hormones. There can be several reasons for this deficiency, including the baby’s thyroid gland not developing properly and not functioning properly, irregularities in the parts of the brain (where specific hormones are secreted) that tell the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones, or if the mother takes certain medications during pregnancy, this can also affect the baby’s thyroid gland and impair its function.
Low thyroid hormones (hypothyroidism) in any child can affect the child’s growth and development, including both the child’s mental and physical development.
In most cases, if hypothyroidism is not treated, the child may become mentally retarded and disabled. The level of T4 in the blood may vary depending on the child’s age.
Therefore, it is very important to estimate the correct T4 level according to the child’s age. In some children, the condition improves over time (especially in children whose mothers have used certain medications during pregnancy). Therefore, if women want to take cough syrup during pregnancy, they should definitely consult their doctor. Some cases of hypothyroidism are hereditary, while in some cases this problem is due to deafness.
Beware of the coming of winter
Natural ways to prevent colds.
Weather change, whether it is from cold to heat or from heat to cold, affects human existence in both cases. It is well known about winter that the cold season creates a cold atmosphere in the emotions, but fog, mist and the intensity of cold are its special characteristics. While the coldness of this season adds a touch of cold to the heat of the blood, it also creates a new madness and excitement in the charm of life.
Winter is the only season that is equally beloved and desirable by everyone. Food lovers get a chance to eat to their heart’s content, those who wear colorful clothes have no obstacles in experimenting with all kinds of fashions without fear or danger, the stench of sweat and the bites of mosquitoes make life miserable, and long nights provide an opportunity to sleep soundly.

Due to the lack of proper health awareness in our country, most people try to ignore cold and flu as a minor disease, and if some people pay attention to it, they consider drinking a glass of water or taking a disprin to be enough.
However, this disease is not as harmless as we imagine, and we do not pay attention to its treatment. According to medical experts, if cold is not treated in a timely and appropriate manner, it becomes a means of imposing many harmful and painful disorders on the human body and destroys health and well-being.

But remember that people whose throats are sensitive and throat swelling appears due to slight carelessness, their colds and coughs are caused by throat sensitivity. Therefore, they should not start being careful with cold water, sour foods, fats and poultry with the change of weather just because of the sensitivity of their throat. If they overcome the problems of throat sensitivity, they will be protected from many other disorders. When the condition of throat swelling develops, mild fever and cold also start appearing.
