Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Ice cubes are one of the best alternative treatments available to help ease the swelling on your tongue.
Eating some celery sticks is also a great natural way to relieve swelling and the pain in your tongue, and it is healthy too.
Turmeric is a great anti-inflammatory product for many medical conditions including swollen tongue and lymph nodes.
If you have a swollen tongue then you should also think about switching to soft foods during this time to let your tongue heal.
Washing your mouth out with salt and warm water is also a great alternative to medication if you have a swollen tongue.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
