Needs examination: There could be many causes for a swollen tongue. If it has been sudden and you are having difficulty breathing or swallowing, this might be an allergic reaction and you need to go to ER immediately. If this has been a gradual process, it could be due to yeast or infection or possibly other sinister causes such as malignancy. You need a proper examination to determine the cause first.
