If the swelling is a result of an allergic reaction, epinephrine is the drug of choice. Benadryl will also most likely be given. A steroid such as decadron, kenalog or prednisone would decrease the swelling.

The medicine that is used for tongue swelling depends on the cause. If the tongue is swollen due to an allergy, an antihistamine may be taken. If the swelling is caused by an infection, a steroid or anti-inflammatory medicine may be taken.
