lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. TSH value of 14.29 mU/L is fairly high, suggesting presence of hypothyroidism. This needs to be treated with levothyroxine tablets. Dose of that medication has to be calculated based on the weight, height and TSH and T4 values. So you will have to give me her weight and height details. Plus there are a few other things which she has to follow, like regular exercise, some dietary restrictions and taking the medication on empty stomach early morning. Thanks.
