hello, thanks for your query, neck swelling since 6 months could be due to lymphadenitis or tuberculosis, stones in salivary gland or inflammation in salivary glands. tongue pushing up could be due to this glands swelling. u may require ultrasound neck, fine needle aspiration cytology( fnac) depanding on doctors advise. kindly visit an ent surgeon for expert opinion. all the best.take care.
