Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. I need more information to help you.
What medication you are taking now. ?
How long you are taking and how many you took. ?
For what condition you are taking this. ?
Swollen tongue and trouble swallowing can be due to allergic reaction to medicine. In such case it is emergency and you should approach ER. You need corticosteroid shots for this.
Stop the medication and approach ER. Taking a short course of corticosteroids and anti histamines will be helpful to normalize your condition.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
