Owie (TMI)

My tongue is swollen, and hurts. It even has a bit of a scalloped edge from pressing against my teeth:
Swollen Tongue
(You may also notice that I have an annoying number of zits on my chin too.)

I think it must be the cookies I bought yesterday, but there's also a possibility it's the craisins.

Have I mentioned I hate allergies?

Gah!

Yikes, be careful. A swollen tongue is nothing to think lightly about as it can very easily block off your breathing. Don't make me put on my "soon-to-be nurse hat."

Thanks. I don't take it lightly. Although my tongue is swollen, my cheeks aren't, and I'm not having any trouble breathing, or itchy lips. I'm paying attention to the signs.

Nope, this started around noon, and I'm pretty sure it's a food allergy.

I've taken an antihistamine, had dinner and brushed my teeth, and it seems to be settling down some.
