My daughter is 19 and has health issues. The latest is an enlarged neck and it hurts and feels abnormal. Her Thyroid levels are TSH 2.29 and her T4 level is 1.1. Is this normal?

I am sorry that your daughter is having health issues, and it sounds like many tests are being conducted to determine the cause of her symptoms.

From numerous sources, TSH levels in children do range from 0.7-6.0 and are considered within normal range. Please know this is only a guide, as every lab differs in what their "normal" definition is, and your daughter's doctor should discuss lab test results with you and your daughter. Have you discussed these results, what they indicate, and what further testing is needed (if it is confirmed that her TSH and T4 levels are normal?).

Source: TSH levels.

She had the tests done in ER because she can't have them done in her doctors office. The ER doctor suggested an ultrasound. She is crying because she can't get a diagnosis ever from anyone.
