Excuse my reality...: But every human is going to die. But i highly doubt you will die from brushing your tongue too hard. Rest that for a couple of days and don't do it so hard the next time. Some prescription meds can make the tongue swell. If your not taking any, then that's not a factor. Some allergy conditions can cause to swell too. If you can swallow and talk, your probably ok. But watch if things get worse.
