A member asked:
Can your tounge get shorter? when i was younger and stuck my tounge out it was longer is that even possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: I have not heard of this problem before. You may just have the sensation of your tongue getting smaller. The other possibility is that you've just "grown into" your current situation. It is doubtful there is an issue, but if you notice problems with taste or smell, see your physician. They may want to do some vitamin level testing on you.
