You have lingual nerve parasthesia. This is when the tongue becomes numb. You may have bitten your tongue accidentally and damaged your lingual nerve. After biting your tongue then, of course, it became swollen internally due to inflammation while it tries to heal itself. The nerve will regenerate in a few days, the swelling will go down, and you'll have sensation in your tongue again. In the meantime, be careful when chewing your food so you don't bite it again.
