So my parents noticed that one side of my
neck was larger than the other and I went
and got tested. The doctor gave me almost
a year of thyroid medicine, but I showed
no symptons beside the neck. Then I went
to another doctor and he said I might have
the graves disease and I got blood checked
and he gave me more thyroid medicine.
After taking it for 2 months I went back
and got checked and the blood results were
good and he told me to take it for a few
more months and then he said I should be
fine and took me off the medication. Then
a few months later I began experiencing
that my mouth was dry all the time even
when I am drinking water. I thought it
would go away but it's been months now and
my mouth is feeling quite dry. Which type
of doctor should I go see to check my
problem? I got bloodtested and they said
it wasn't diabetes, so they don't know
what it is.

That might be something that your regular
physician or a dentist can help you with.
I would try the physician first as you
seem to believe that it's a side effect of
your thyroid medication but please get
this issue resolved as it can have serious
side effects.

Hmm thanks i'll go and do that. I don't
think it should be a side effect from the
medicine because it never happened before.
