If you're coping with hypothyroidism, there are many signs and symptoms that vary from person to person. According to Endocrine Web, in some severe cases of hypothyroidism a thyroid patient can have an increase in tongue size.

Meanwhile, the Mayo Clinic points out that infants who are born without a thyroid gland, or a thyroid gland that is underactive, can have a large, protruding tongue. Furthermore, the Mayo Clinic suggests that some people dealing with endocrine disorders like Diabetes or hypothyroidism might also experience burning mouth syndrome.
