A member asked:
I have hyperthyroidism but today my hands are super swollen and it is all over my body, can you help me? what allergy medicine can i take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe not allergy?: Uncontrolled thyroid disease can cause severe skin symptoms and swelling. Is there a reason you are concerned about allergy? Recommend letting your primary doc or Endocrinologist know what is happening immediately as these symptoms may indicate a need from emergent treatment or short hospital stay.
