The treatment for thyroid disorders depends on your diagnosis, meaning that the treatment for hypothyroidism is different from the treatment for hyperthyroidism.
The best treatment for hypothyroidism involves the administration of synthetic thyroid hormones, which restores the levels of the thyroid hormones in the blood. The optimal dosage of thyroid medications relieves the symptoms gradually, making the individual feel better eventually.
The treatment options for hyperthyroidism involve the intake of radioactive iodine (taken orally), anti-thyroid medications, and beta-blockers (to manage heart palpitations and faster heart rate). If nothing works, doctors might suggest getting a thyroidectomy to excise and remove the thyroid gland entirely.
