What Could Be The Reason For The Tongue Getting Swollen When Eating?

It hurts to swallow and at times my tongue feels swollen when my throat isn t sore to swallow but it is all day every day for a year or so I was told it was reflux but have taken 2 different reflux tablets and it makes no difference at all. Last dr. Said something broken in my throat so just live with it.is that right
