an allergic reaction is one thing that can cause that

but the cause that requires THE MOST URGENT ATTENTION is the reaction to certain kinds of high blood pressure medications, specifically ACE-inhibitors, including benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril (Altace), and trandolapril (Mavik).

If you're taking these or anything similar and your tongue swells up GO TO THE ER IMMEDIATELY -- before your throat and air passages are blocked by further swelling -- and ask the doctors if you should stop taking that particular medication (they will invariably tell you to do so IMMEDIATELY and replace it with a different kind of blood pressure med). They may even put you on a one-week detoxification program.
