Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.

That tingling sensation could be because of the side effects of the medications you are giving to your baby.

Please consult your doctor if the problem persists.

Does he have any swelling of the lips?
Did he develop any rash any where on the body?

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
