What Causes Swelling In The Tongue And Slurred Speech In An Adolescent?
My daughter is almost 17. For 6 months she has had issues with her tongue swelling, excessive saliva, slurred speech, trouble swallowing, decreased appetite. This happens almost everyday, mostly later in the day. We have been to an allergy doctor and ENT who have not determined the problem. Any suggestions?

Hi,
It can be due to neurological causes. Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. She has to undergo an MRI scan to rule out CNS causes. Wishing you good health.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
