My 5 year old daughter has gained weight suddenly in last 6 months . She has started asking for food on odd times. Can it be a sign of thyroid? Pls suggest

A. Thyroid it is not necessarily associated with thyroid it can be actually associated with worms in the tummy and sometimes it could be due to growth spurt also which can be very unhealthy sometimes with the child keeps asking for food or anything to eat so it’s better for you to check with your doctor get necessary checkup and testing for thyroid also
