Evaluation Needed: From what you've said it's hard to determine. But you should get an evaluation as it could be a reason.

Yes but you are ok: If you have no food allergies and no history of swelling then worrying about your tongue swelling up is just.....Worry. Of course we have all heard of patients with food allergies having intra or peri oral swelling but it is quite rare and most patients are well aware of their food sensitivities and allergies.. Smile and enjoy life and worry about those things you can change or need to.
