Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to an infection or allergic reaction.
Do you have pain or tooth ache?
I would recommend consulting with your dentist for a careful physical exam. A complete blood count would help determine the presence of infection.
Allergy tests may be needed in case an allergic reaction is suspected.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
