Tongue swelling: Not sure i understand your question: did you actually have tongue swelling? It is not always due to food allergy, did you consult an allergist? It can be hereditary or from a medication or idiopathic.

?: The real question is why are you afraid of a swollen tongue? Has it happened in the past, and if so from what? If not, then maybe you should seek some counseling to determine why you have this fear.
