Hello, Thanks for the query. Based on the information given it appears that you will have to continue the same dosage of Levothyroxine. Ideally TSH should be maintained around 3 to 4 mU/L, at which all the symptoms are in check. The treatment with Levothyroxine is for lifetime. Please clarify what do you mean by "Now I have swelling in my body"? WHere is the swelling? Has the weight increased? Is there any change in the thyroid gland size? Thanks.
