My tongue is swelling up and is numb?
Angioedema. Can be a serious allergic reaction. Seen medical help immediately.
May have breathing issues soon.
See Dr. Sounds like some allergic reaction or infectious proces. If the tongue swells too large, it may cause issues with your breathing ability, so get evaluated asap by dr. Good luck.
