Updated: 11/15/2022

To control anything during a seizure is not really possible, so you could not consciously do it. You could wear some protection in your mouth, but that isn't very practical and you don't know when a seizure will happen. It can also be dangerous having something in your mouth when you have a seizure as you could do other damage, like to your teeth. So there is not very much that can be done to stop yourself biting your tongue when you have a seizure.

Is it possible swallow your tongue in a seizure?

As a Board certified, Nationally Registered Paramedic, I can tell you that the only way you can swallow your tongue in a seizure is to bite it off and swallow it. If your seizure is from an allergic reaction and your tongue swells, it could just block your airway. While it does happen that people bite themselves during seizures, a total amputation of the tongue is extremely rare. What's a lot more common though is that people who are deeply unconscious get so floppy that the tongue can tilt backways into their throats and block their airway. But placing them in the recovery position is enough to sort that out.
