an allergic reaction is one thing that can cause that
but the cause that requires THE MOST URGENT ATTENTION is the reaction to certain kinds of high blood pressure medications, specifically ACE-inhibitors, including benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril (Altace), and trandolapril (Mavik).
If you're taking these or anything similar and your tongue swells up GO TO THE ER IMMEDIATELY -- before your throat and air passages are blocked by further swelling -- and ask the doctors if you should stop taking that particular medication (they will invariably tell you to do so IMMEDIATELY and replace it with a different kind of blood pressure med). They may even put you on a one-week detoxification program.

∙ 13y agoWell, I am no expert, but I do belive that if your face or toung swells, it is most likely caused from some allergy to maybe a medication, food, or even a perfume or cologne. If you can, try to remember what you were doing, eating, or wearing at the time of your reaction.

∙ 15y agoWell the tongue is a complex structure of two muscle groups right and left side. The normal tongue piercing is placed in between the two groups in the frenial valley. Regardless how good the piercer is the muscle is always nicked during the piercing and this will cause the tongue to swell mildly during the inital days following the piercing. As healing progresses the swelling will subside ( swelling is a protective feature that limits the tongues movement to prevent further irritation, while the body works on healing the damage ). Hope that helps
