No, people do not swallow with their tongue. Swallowing is a complex process that involves coordination of muscles in the throat and esophagus to move food or liquid from the mouth to the stomach. The tongue helps push food to the back of the mouth during swallowing, but it is not responsible for the actual act of swallowing.

Is it possible swallow your tongue in a seizure?

As a Board certified, Nationally Registered Paramedic, I can tell you that the only way you can swallow your tongue in a seizure is to bite it off and swallow it. If your seizure is from an allergic reaction and your tongue swells, it could just block your airway. While it does happen that people bite themselves during seizures, a total amputation of the tongue is extremely rare. What's a lot more common though is that people who are deeply unconscious get so floppy that the tongue can tilt backways into their throats and block their airway. But placing them in the recovery position is enough to sort that out.
