Dear Sir
The Name of the boy is. R,P. Singh  n  Rajkumar . His date of birth is 14th January 2015..  His height is 69cm n weight is 9.3 kgs.  He is suffering from thyroid since 2 years i.e. his age was 3 years. The boy's age is increasing but not height and weight.  Dr. told that he has Thyroid problem which is responsible all over growth of the body.  His parents are most worried about his growth
My explanation
Hypothyroidism is a  endocrine disorder in which your child’s thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone. A child with an under active thyroid may experience fatigue, weight gain, constipation, decreased growth, and a host of other issues.
Your child’s thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck, just below the thyroid cartilage (Adam’s apple). Hormones produced by the thyroid affect all aspects of your child’s health including heart rate, energy metabolism (how effectively the body uses calories), growth and development. 
Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) occurs when the thyroid gland does not develop or function normally prior to birth. It is a very common problem, affecting about 1 in every 2,500 to 3,000 babies. In the United States, all states test for CH as part of their routine newborn screening process.
Acquired hypothyroidism is most frequently caused by an autoimmune disorder called chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (CLT). In this disorder your child’s immune system attacks the thyroid gland, leading to damage and decreased function. The disorder was originally described by Japanese physician Hakaru Hashimoto and thus is often referred to by his name: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.


My advise
1.....   Many factors, including your family history, your child’s physical exam, the degree of hypothyroidism in your baby at the time of diagnosis, and the course of treatment over the first two to three years of life, will help your child's physician determine if the cause is hereditary (runs in your family), and if life-long therapy is required.
2....   CLT is more common in girls than in boys, and in adolescents more than pre-adolescents. Patients with other forms of autoimmune disease, most commonly insulin-dependent diabetes, are at increased risk of developing CLT. Overall, about 20 to 30 percent of diabetics will develop CLT. Because of this, annual screening for CLT is a routine part of diabetic care.
3....    Iatrogenic hypothyroidism is a form of acquired hypothyroidism that occurs in children who have had their thyroid gland medically ablated (destroyed) or surgically removed. By removing the thyroid gland, the body no longer produces thyroid hormone, leading to iatrogenic hypothyroidism.
4...      Central hypothyroidism occurs when the brain does not make thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), the signal that tells the thyroid gland to work. This condition is much less common than disorders associated with an abnormal thyroid gland. In fact, in central hypothyroidism, most patients have a normal thyroid.
In addition to a low TSH, central hypothyroidism may be associated with deficiencies of other hormones, including:   a..  Growth hormone    b...Adrenocorticotropic hormone, which stimulates the adrenal gland during stress  c...Luteinizing and follicle-stimulating hormone, which control ovary and testicular function   d...Prolactin, which helps females produce milk  e...Oxytocin, which is important for childbirth and lactation  and f...Antidiuretic hormone, which controls urine production
5...      The thyroid gland is a vital hormone gland: It plays a major role in the metabolism, growth and development of the human body. It helps to regulate many body functions by constantly releasing a steady amount of thyroid hormones into the bloodstream. If the body needs more energy in certain situations – for instance, if it is growing or cold, or during pregnancy – the thyroid gland produces more hormones.

6....    God has designed all our body parts to work for 100 years provided if we follow healthy food and healthy lifestyle but we are  not following healthy food and healthy habits due to which we facing various health problem.   Thyroid gland acts like a check post and filter unwanted  materials in our food which are harmful to our body n sent out  unwanted with our  stool or  urine. or sweating.   Now are seeing number of people around us suffering with diabetes  due to damage of our pancreas.   Similarly If the mother doesn't follow healthy food before and during pregnancy it may cause damaged to her thyroid gland n  child's thyroid gland also damaged.  Due to which it cannot produce the required hormones for the child's body functions such as growth, weight,muscle etc,,,,,
7...      The child has to face many health problems fatigue, weight gain, muscle and joint pain, trouble concentrating, memory loss, and hair loss.   The child cannot concentrate on education due to health problems.
8...      Babies with hypothyroidism may have no symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they can include: a..Cold hands and feet b..Constipation  c...Extreme sleepiness  d..Hoarse cry  e..Little or no growth f..Low muscle tone (floppy infant)  g..Persistent jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes)  h..Poor feeding habits  i...Puffy face   j..Stomach bloating k..Swollen tongue
9..      I advise every woman to control her thyroid problem (if any) before conceiving to have healthy child.
10...     You can protect your thyroid gland with healthy habits and healthy food.
