Why Does My Tongue Swell Up At Night?

my tongue swells up at night. It has been going on for some time. But last night I had a burning sensation that kept me awake. My upper pallette is affected also. I suffer from long term heartburne also, are these related. I am a 15 year survivor of breast cancer.

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the swelling over the tongue could be because of the growth secondary to chronic irritation. it can be fibroma or hyperplastic candidiasis or fissured tongue. the burning sensation could be because of the fissured tongue. on the palate the lesion could be a kissing lesion that is spread of candidal infection from the tongue to the palate region because of contact of tongue with palate. consult a oral physician for further management. you can use topical antifungal like candid mouth paint and topican analgesic and anesthetic like anabel gel. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
