Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I fully appreciate your concerns.

You have not mentioned whether thyroid is underworking or overworking.

Thyroid gland produces thyroid hormone.

Thyroid hormone deficiency occurs if thyroid gland is underactive (Hypothyroidism).

Under these circumstances, the patient needs daily dose of thyroid hormone supplementation. No other treatment is required.

If thyroid gland is hyperactive (Hyperthyroidism), medicines to curb hyperactivity are given.

I will be able to give helpful advice if you send me thyroid hormone levels estimation, if done.

I personally feel that homeopathic treatment will not help.

I am sure that you will benefit from the advice. Please feel free to revert back to an endocrinologist online for further clarifications --> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/endocrinologist
