What Causes Tongue Swelling After A Small Surgery?
I had general anesthesia for a minimally invasive proceedure. At recovery room I said my right side of tongue looks and feels swollen. The left is fine. Its been about 15hrs since and my tongue got a bit more swollen.
I'm 5'4" and about 135.
I had a bit of water 6oz and about 8oz of iced decaf coffee with cream and sugar about 4.5 hrs before the proceedure. Is that a factor to my reaction?

Hello,
No, it is temporary only. No need to worry at all. It will get settled down. Try to avoid too cold and too hot diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Arun S Dathan
