I remember an old book by Adele Davis mentioning the tongue.I also have gum pockets and often when I go they put arrestin in those.Thanks for any assistance you can provide.  I did not realize there was a fee and I have an appt. next week and so Ill just report the symptoms then. Thanks.
Hello, Well, occasional swelling of tongue is commonly due to allergic reaction that can be at times due to allergy to any unknown foods or medicines or at times certain environmental allergens can be a cause. Less likely to be vitamin B deficiency as in that case there can be consistent swelling along with other symptoms. So, my suggestion is to consult an oral physician and get checked especially when there is swelling of tongue. You can take anti-allergic like Levocetrizine and see if swelling gets down. Also, an allergy test can be done for confirmation. But firstly a clinical checkup can be done to make a provisional diagnosis. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
