My dog's tongue swelled up and she's drooling. What can I give her?

Question

My pups tongue suddenly swelled up. She is drooling alot. No fever, still drinking water, still wants attention. As far as I know she has not injured herself or eaten anything not allowed. She is breathing fine and her nose is cold and wet. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 4 years and 11 months old | 80 lbs

It is possible she trying to eat a bee or other insect and got stung. You can try giving her some Benadryl. At 80 pounds she would need 3 of the 25mg capsules and you can give that same dose every 8-12 hours. If no improvement in 24-36 hours she really needs to see a vet.
