From hypo to hyper?

[Bobsun]

Hi everyone!
Can anyone tell me if it is possible for a baby with congenital hypothyroidism, treated with Levothyroxine to go to hyperthyroidism (after 2 months of treatment)? And how can I recognise the symptoms?

Thanks for the answers to both bunny235 and GravesLady. My question was mainly if it is possible to go from hypo to hyper and vice versa. It is extremely difficult to recognise such symptoms in a baby so I don't think I will be able to notice them. We do have a doctor indeed, who is a specialist, but for some resons she refuses to send the results to us so we will change her this week. Anyway I would not do anything if I do not have the opinion of at least two specialists.
Thank you again.

Baby could be med. induced hyperthyroid, meaning baby is getting too high does of meds.

Have you had this checked out with the doctor.  When it comes to baby I would not rely on symptoms alone.  Baby's and children symptoms are different than adult symptoms.

Good luck to Baby!

This is exactly what happen to me. Since it happened to me I assume it could also happen to a baby. The way I could tell was that I could not sleep at all for like a week. I also started to feel horrible again. Also check the babies temp and pulse. If temp and pulse are high then there is a good chance it is hyper.
