Patient: Hello, my daughter, who is otherwise healthy, has developed, in the past two to three days, unexplained swelling of her tongue. The only medications she takes are multivitamins and Lo-estrin birth control pills.  She is under the impression the swelling may be due to a hormone imbalance.. What do you think? Doctor: Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query.The cause for the unexplained enlargement of the tongue could be allergic origin.
