POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. A TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) level of 9.9 shortly after birth can indicate hypothyroidism, which means the thyroid is not producing enough thyroid hormones. In newborns, this could be a sign of congenital hypothyroidism. If left untreated, it can affect growth and brain development. However, many babies with elevated TSH levels are treated with thyroid hormone replacement, and with early detection and proper treatment, they typically grow and develop normally. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further testing and treatment, as timely intervention can prevent long-term issues.
