Vijayaji, if it is hyperthyroidism, (thyrotoxicosis) there are various typesof therapies employed to control excess activity including radio active iodine, surgery and antithyroid drugs. Sometimes excess activity of thyroid gland ceases to be there after treatment, for quite some time. Or post treatment (radio active iodine or sugery) there will be hypothyroidism, which has to be treated with thyroxine tablets and for life time.
