Every morning i have been waking up with an extremely swollen tongue and its all white and mossy looking (hehe sorry the detail) and sometimes like right now it will just swell up to the point that i chew on it if im not careful..
I dyed my hair abuot 5 days ago.....
could i still be having some type of allergic reaction after almost a week?

you could be, or it could be something you are eating too. You need to go to doc, it could also be an infection in your tongue. Allergies can kick in at any age so I would get it checked out :)

It could be some kind of allergic reaction if it started the morning after you died your hair.
More likely it's a sign of poor nutrition. Doctors always used to look at people's tongues as they are a good sign of how health or sick someone is. If you've been eating a lot of junk food and not drinking much water over Christmas, it may just be that you need to eat more fruit and veg and wholegrains, and make sure you have plenty of water.

No I don't think it's an allergy. It would have started earlier and the symptoms wouldn't show on your tongue. These are classic symptoms of having to much mucus in the body. It is also a sign of lack of good bacteria in your body.
To help it go away you should cut down on dairy products as your organs are too damp to deal with them at the moment.
If it still doesn't go away you can get acidophilus powder or capsules from a health store.
If your mouth is also quite dry and thirsty you can use the homeopathic remedy "Bryonia", which is available from health food shops.

I agree with the other posters that think it could be an allergic reaction. I would go to the doctor, but also take some Benadryl now .... as long as your not allergic to it. Also, try to remember when the swelling began to see if there is another possible cause. Good Luck.

It is not allergenic or whatever. You have a really dry mouth and if you sleep with your mouth open that drys it out. I have strep throat and my tongue was just like that. I could not eat anything at all it just burned my tongue and all I could drink is water. If you had or have a fever then it may be leading to strep throat. Drink chicken broth and lots of water
