Nowadays iodine deficiency is not the cause for hypothyroidism as most of the food we consume especially salt contains iodine. There are other causes for hypothyroidism and most commonly it is due to autoimmune disease such as thyroiditis. Thyroid replacement needs to be continued as suggested by your doctor. You need not worry about iodine if you are using iodized salt
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist or endocrinologist for appropriate dosage thyroid replacement tablets
