A member asked:

Is it possible to have an allergic reaction feeling like swelling on back of tongue?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Allergic reactions to tongue and mouth usually arise from fresh fruits and vegetable. These foods contain substances similar to pollens. Mellons and apples are classic examples.
