Hi,
Based on the history you have shared,the swelling on the back of the tongue may be a lymph node so you need to get examination done by the physician.
Rest for barret’s esophaghus you should get yearly endoscopy done to check for any cancerous changes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
