[|Human|] I have facial swelling... Mainly around both cheeks and under the chin ... CT scan of my sinuses came back negative, x-rays of my teeth showed no problems, blood tests showed no abnormalities related to my thyroid. As of now my doctors have no explanation and no treatment plan. Please help, this has been going on for 10 weeks.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Not only thyroid diseases, many other diseases can cause facial puffiness (swelling). Diseases related to kidney, liver, heart, hypoproteinemia etc. can also cause facial puffiness. So better to consult doctor and get done 1. Liver function test including serum protein levels 2. Kidney function test 3. ECG and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases. Treatment should be started on the basis of these reports. Don't worry, you will be alright. First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
