Q.

My daughter is in her 8th week and doctor told us to get her tested for thyroid. I have seen online that thyroid should be tested at 4th week after birth. Is it too late to get the test done for thyroid in newborn or is it tested at 8th week only ?

A. The earliest that you will get good results is around the fourth week but it doesn’t mean that you can’t do the test during the eight week. Kindly to whatever your doctor says Write Your Answer Here
