Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your query it seems that you are suffering from APTHOUS STOMATITIS leading to swollen tongue and inner cheeks due to inflammation of mucous membranes along with formation of apthous ulcers or canker sores..
It can occur due to a number of conditions like dry mouth, nutritional deficiency of Iron, Vitamin B12 and folic acid, stress, acid reflux, allergic reaction, physical trauma like with sharp teeth or dentures, excessive blood sugar levels etc..

Treatment of underlying cause can resolve the ulcers and inflammation and for this you should consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated..
As of now you can start supportive treatment like gargle with a numbing mouthwash contaning Lignocaine for relief from pain and soreness..
Take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen or Naproxen.
Take a multivitamin tablet daily..
Gargle with 1:1 solution of benadryl and milk of magnesia.
Sucking ice and cold water gargles will relieve inflammation.
Take a soft and bland diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora.
