Results: After treatment with traditional Korean medicine and therapy, the patient showed significant improvements in symptoms and FT4 levels.
Conclusion: This case proved that traditional Korean medicine can be used for patients who have adverse reactions to antithyroid medication; however, studies of larger populations are required in the future.
