Hi Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Probably your child has congenital hypothyroidism. In this condition the thyroid gland doesn't produce enough thyroxine hormone, so it has been given in the form of tablet for normal growth and development of the body and brain. So it is safe, and it must be given regularly and lifelong. She needs blood test few times a year which helps to adjust the dose of thyroxine. Take care.
