Hi. how likely is it for my tongue to swell? i have no allergies, and no diseases. i have a fear of this happening. it is making me afraid :(

See a dentist: Tongue inflammation or condition also called self-inflicted traumatic macroglossia. Common symptoms are problems chewing, swallowing, or speaking. Your doctor may prescribe an anti-inflammatory drug or suggest an otc Ibuprofen to help minimize inflammation and reduce pain while the underlying cause is treated. Hope it helps.
