Hi,
It can be taken and after month or 2 latter repeat levels [thyroid]. Once, your BP and heart rate should be checked regularly along with ECG, if there is swelling for one week. RFT is also suggested. Yes, Levothyroxine too can produce side effects of swelling but your lifestyle also can develop it. It needs to be checked by a physician. For diet, eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Drink 7-8 glasses of water. Do some pranayama [art of living workshop will provide the very much needed yoga, exercise and other techniques required by the body]. 8-9 hrs sleep is a must. Laugh and smile more through the day.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
