Tell the team about your anxiety so they can help you access care.<\/p><p><strong>Urgent help:<\/strong> swelling with fever, feeling unwell or difficulty opening your mouth needs urgent assessment. If swelling affects breathing or swallowing, call 112. Call 1177 if you need help finding appropriate care in Sweden.
