What Causes Swelling In The Tongue?
Hello, my daughter, who is otherwise healthy, has developed, in the past two to three days, unexplained swelling of her tongue. The only medications she takes are multivitamins and Lo-estrin birth control pills. She is under the impression the swelling may be due to a hormone imbalance.. What do you think?

Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query.
The cause for the unexplained enlargement of the tongue could be allergic origin. Allergic reaction secondary to any drugs or food items might have resulted in enlargement of the tongue. Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Meanwhile, you can take anti allergic medications like cetrizine morning and night for one day.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
