i have seen 2 ents and 2 gastroentinologists as well as several trips to my primary care doctor for my swollen left side of my tongue fo last 22 months. i really noticed it in july 07 and it has never gone away in that time and it has gotten worse. it is constant. none of the doctors have ever seen it before and cant come up with anything. it feels burnt on the center as well. my right side hurts bc it is being pushed into my teeth by the signifigant swelling on the left side. help!!!!!! the doctors act like it shouldnt even bother me. i have some other major health issues but they all say they do not have any relation to my tongue.

Hi:
I'm sorry about your discomfort. Without knowing your other major health issues, it's hard to be helpful. Could you be having an allergic reaction to some food or drink that you are consuming on a regular basis? Have you consulted with a neurologist? Could this be a side-effect of some medication that you are taking? A pharmacist could answer that question. These questions might help you narrow things down. I hope that you will find answers soon. I wish you well. Let us know.

hi. i didnt know i had a response. i still have the swelling and have seen a few more doctors. my major medical issue is that i test positive for hep c, however it is not active and has not been in years and even then was mild and quick to resolve. i have never had treatment bc my viral load has never been signifigant and my annual blood tests are always normal so doctors say treatment would be useless. i have been seen by 3 gastroentenologists over the past 3 years and they all say my tongue has nothing to do with my liver or hepc statis and that all my systems that they deal with are normal. as far as meds i take ambien and milk thistle regularly but have discontinued both at separate times as doctors suggested to see if that was the problem and neither was. no i havent seen a neurologist. i would have to get referred by my pcm and they havent suggested that yet.

I've found relief from swollen tongue and painful tongue lesions on one side with a Vitamin B Complex 100mg, taken daily until the problem completely subsides, then every other day as maintenance.
