If it's sudden its mostly an allergy to something u have consumed... u need to take an anti allergic tablet as soon as possible and in case of difficulty in swallowing or breathing visit your nearest doctor or hospital

You haven't mentioned if it has happened previously . Most of the tongue swellings are due to allergy and also can be caused due to certain medications . Kindly keep yourselves hydrated and go to ER as soon as possible and you may require steroids and anti allergic medications . Consult with a physician to find out the cause that triggered it .
