What Causes Swelling In The Tongue While Suffering From Acid Reflux?
Hi, my tongue seems to be swollen, and is constantly pressing into my teeth. I find it difficult for my head to feel comfortable! I do suffer for acid reflux, I take Nexium 24hr. A few days ago I did have a bad ache in my left side too! Could this be to do with my spleen?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to acid reflux.
This acidity causes inflammation and swelling in the tongue.
I suggest you to use antacids such as Maloox.
I also recommend using Omeprazole.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
