Hey - mine wasn't swollen - just red and irritated - at I could feel what I thought was scar tissue from my leukoplakia removal years before ( it was a thickened mass - inside my tongue not on the outside though it became more irritated when I Ate, drank, and talked - acidic or hot foods were brutal - it felt like salt in an open sore. Very painful. I agree with msmac - more than 2 weeks have someone look at it.
