A member asked:
What can you do when you suffer from having an enlarged tongue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing or surgery.: There is no medication to make the tongue smaller. There are surgical procedures to make the tongue smaller but they are done only for problems with speaking, breathing, drooling, and dental development.
