Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the swelling face involving parotid gland, blurred vision, body rashes do indicate possible auto immune disorder manifesting at various system disturbances. In my clinic, I do recommend a systemic examination of patient with relevant investigations as:
- Complete hemogram with platelet count and morphology
- ESR
- Coagulation profile with bleeding time, clotting and prothrombin time
- Presence of any particular antibodies in the serum
Till that time, first instance would be stopping further doses of warfarin as there is high chances of uncontrollable bleeding.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
