Hyperthyroidism during puberty is generally triggered by the child's own poor physical condition, so it is important to seek medical treatment at a hospital as early as possible. Do not allow the child to delay until the condition becomes severe and difficult to treat. If hyperthyroidism occurs during puberty, prompt consultation with an endocrinology department at a hospital is recommended, along with increased water intake in daily life. The condition may result from endocrine disturbances during adolescence. Patients should engage in moderate exercise, avoid catching colds, and refrain from intense physical activities to prevent worsening of the disease.
