A member asked:

Lately my tongue has been swollen to the point of making me slur my words, in addition to be abnormally cold. but not all the time ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If your tongue: becomes visibly swollen, it could be an allergic reaction. If it is a sensation of swelling along with slurring of words, it could be something related to your brain. Have your doctor check it out again.
