I have hypothyroidism.
I have recently had 2 episodes with alarming mouth & gum swelling, redness, some tongue swelling & sores. I figure out what these episodes happened and if they are related to my thyroid condition. I do not have any known allergies. I'm 48 yrs old.
3 Drs have said they have seen nothing like it. Histamine injections, antibiotics & in one case liquid steroids were used simultaneously and worked. Healing occurred within 1 and 3 days respectively. I had a very sore throat several hours before each episode.
I'm concerned about when it another episode will occur. And if I will be in an emergency situation with the swelling.
Thanks for any input or ideas.
