Is There Any Specific Exercise For Reducing Swelling In Tongue?
Hello my father just had lights stoke and his tongue was swelling, my mom had to pull his tongue every time he has trouble breathing. We consulted a Neurologist and was advised to do CT scan but my father can't breath lying more than 2 minutes flat. What's really bothering us is the swelling tongue. Is there a specific exercise to lessen the swell on her tongue or should we change medication?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
You may be under the wrong impression this may not be a swelling of tongue that cause a breathing trouble to your father, but I think he must be having some respiratory problem and that need to be ruled out rather than pulling his tongue out, this is wrong practice your mother is doing for your father, and that is why his tongue might have swollen, hope this information help you, take care of your father bye.
