Brief Answer:
This is likely to be a side effect of Neurontin!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.
The swollen and sore tongue is a known but rare side effect of Neurontin. If this is severe or very bothersome, I strongly recommend that you stop the medicine and report to your doctor. If it is minor, carry on and you will certainly witness gradual resolution that will allow you to continue taking the drug.
I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
Regards
