Evaluation: Please see a dentist or oral surgeon to determine if the pain and swelling in your tongue is in anyway related to your teeth. No need to suffer.

Why: Why have you waited so long? Swelling probably due to infection. Yours seems rather advanced, and can quickly become life threatening. Must se Dentist or Oral Surgeon immediately. If you are having difficulty breathing, and it's not regular office hours, go to ER.
