An 11-year-old with fatty liver and thyroid issues can usually take thyroid medication if it has been prescribed after proper evaluation. Poor concentration can sometimes be linked to uncontrolled thyroid levels, but other causes may also need assessment. Please review the thyroid reports (TSH, T3, T4) and prescription with a pediatrician/endocrinologist before making any changes to treatment. A detailed consultation can help determine the correct dosage and address the child’s concentration concerns

Yes, an 11-year-old child can absolutely take thyroid medicine â in fact, if he has hypothyroidism it is essential that he does, as untreated thyroid deficiency in children directly affects concentration, memory, growth, and weight. Looking at the prescription from Apollo, he has been evaluated by a specialist Paediatrician and the treatment is medically indicated. The poor concentration in studies you mentioned is a classic symptom of hypothyroidism in children and should improve once thyroid levels are corrected.
Next Steps
Please follow the prescription given by the treating paediatrician closely and do not stop the medicine without consultation. Feel free to consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation for any further queries.
