Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and from what you have mentioned it appears that you have overcorrected hypothyroidism.

1.I suggest that you decrease the dose of Thyronorm to 50 mcg once daily.

2. Repeat your thyroid function test after six weeks and then we will review again.

3. Also, you have urinary tract infection and therefore maybe you can be dizzy and weak.

4. If you do not have any drug allergy then you can take tablet Cefuroxime 500 mg twice a day for five days.

5. You can also take tablet Paracetamol 500 mg thrice a day for three days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and with their consent take all the medicines.

6. Drink eight to 10 glasses of water daily.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

The report I sent you was of last year. So, I am not sure if I still have the UTI. Another doctor advised me to stop the Thyronorm completely for a while and see. Do you think that is fine?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

No, I think reducing the dose and repeating the tests in six weeks will be better.

Regards.
