Carbimazole and Cough/Toothache

[alphabet1]

Hi there

I was diagnosed with Graves Disease 21 months ago and have had an up and down journey with it so far.

I've recently had my dose upped to 30mg of Carbimazole and am taking 160mg of Propanalol daily also for the tremors and irregular and fast heartrate.

I noticed swelling in the back of my mouth around the gum and cheek 3 or 4 days ago and it's painful to the touch. I now have a terrible cough which started coming on last night.

I'm just wondering how concerned I should be with regard to white blood cell count or am I being a bit dramatic about a summer cold?

Any input would be appreciated.

I think you should get it checked out just to be safe.

Btw, do u experience gum disease?

Thanks for the reply. No, I don't generally experience gum disease. I go to the dentist regularly and have no issues.

That's good.

Do show the swelling to the doctor as well

Cheers : )

I’m with ling - get it checked out immediately - if it was just the cough I might say summer cold, but the swelling is worrisome and may be indicative of infection. Good luck and hope you feel better soon. All the best.
