    Answer: b. Fatigue

    c. Sleepiness

    Explanation: Congenital hypothyroidism is a condition in newborns whereby there is an insufficient production of thyroid hormone. It is caused by low iodine or a problem with the thyroid gland. Symptoms include fatigue, excessive sleepiness, constipation, enlarged navel, goiter and poor mental development.

    Treatment in early life is usually by adding thyroid hormone to baby food. When a child is not responding adequately to treatment, the symptoms above will persist.
