Macroglossia, why is my tongue so large?
Macroglossia is the medical term for an unusually large tongue. Enlargement of the tongue can cause cosmetic and functional difficulties while speaking, eating, swallowing and sleeping. It’s quite uncommon and generally occurs in children. Mr Juling Ong, a craniofacial and paediatric plastic surgeon in London talks about why the tongue becomes enlarged and what can be done about it.
