I am afraid you have to go private as GP's love to meddle with thyroid patients, and they are not aware of children or adults optimum range for that matter .....if you are below 5.0 you are fine but is not the case my self once I go over 2.0 I fell really ill, lethargic, and brain fog sets in for days ......my kid was 3.3 and they not even look at it twice .....I want to get new tests done and then take him to a endocrinologist ...... talked about one that is aware of children ranges .....
