Hello,
Puffy cheeks, night sweats, enlarged tongue and sore eyes after taking Thyroxine, may be due to side effects of the medicines or allergy to the medicine. You should contact your treating doctor urgently, Avoid taking the medication again. Your doctor may need to change your treatment. Notify your healthcare provider of the reactions you’ve encountered after taking medication or eating certain foods.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
