If thyroid hormone levels are elevated, levothyroxine (Euthyrox) can be taken orally as directed by a physician. Regular follow-up visits to the hospital are necessary to timely adjust the medication dosage. In addition to medication, patients should moderately increase their intake of iodine-rich foods in their diet, such as seaweed, sea fish, kelp, and nori, which may also help alleviate the condition.
