A thyroid problem can be overactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroidism). The two required very different treatment. If medication is recommended, the med is extremely low priced, so it is very affordable even if you have to buy it out of pocket. There is no reputable over the counter medication that would be safe for either condition.
