What does it mean when your tounge swells and your throat is too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Go to ER: Tongue and throat swelling can be life threatening. It can be an allergic reaction. You never want to wait until it obstructs your airway to react. See immediate evaluation. Call 911 or go to closest emergency department.
