Brief Answer:
You have developed an allergic reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for using HCM.

Tongue getting swollen after eating chocolate cookie with walnuts could indicate an allergic reaction. It is called angioedema .

I would advise you to visit ER immediately as breathing problem can occur if not treated immediately. You may require an epinephrine shot.

Please go to ER immediately.

I hope that answers your question.
With kind regards,
Dr.Barani
