Would you say my DD’s neck could be a sign of hyperthyroidism?

She also suffers consistently with constipation…

No. All babies have rolls of fat in their neck and everywhere else.

No, it looks like a normal neck fat roll of a baby.

They wouldn’t have neck rolls like that if they were hyperthyroid!!

I think OP means hypothyroid as she's mentioned constipation but no this looks like a normal neck.
