A. Whenever you keep taking the medication’s, it will keep changing the blood values, but when it comes to TSH levels, it reflects not that particular days, but how the medication has been working. If the child has been skipping for quite some time, and then the value will be different. Also, it is advisable that you get the test done in the same Lab because that will help in getting a proper idea and also ruling out laboratory bias.
