hello thnks for cnsulting at hcm,Numbness in the tongue can occur due damage to the nerves supplying that area, interrupted blood circulation, pernicious anemia, vitamin B deficiency any recent tooth extraction??? Do you have accompanying symptoms like dizziness, light headedness, nausea, weakness in hands and legs, headache etc? What is your age? Do you have any other medical conditions for which you are undergoing treatment presently?Since all ur medicines r not giving u any relief .. plz take an opine with a neurologist for physical examination . Complete blood picture, lipid profile and CTscan of brain can help making diagnosis. hope it helps..
