Need for examination: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining the tongue and surrounding tissues. If the swelling has persisted more than a couple of days, you should consult your doctor.

Get it checked.: It could be a swollen salivary gland. Dentist worry about under the tongue and side of the tongue swellings as they could be something more serious. It should be checked by a dentist.
