Can swell.: If you brush too hard your tongue can swell a bit. If your tongue is swelling a great bit something else is wrong.

Slow down: There are fully trained professionals nearby who can help you. Yes, you can brush too hard. Call your Dentist, make an appointment, and go discuss technique Your Dentist is there to help. Chances of your swollen tongue being anything other than a nuisance is pretty slim. If you are overly anxious about anything, including your health, there are mental health professionals available to help.
