Suggest Treatment For Numbness In Mouth After Wisdom Tooth Removal

I had my 4 wisdom teeth out around 3.5 weeks ago. I did go to hospital for the procedure. I didn't experience any real major pain shortly afterwards. However, I noticed I my taste has been disturbed on the right side of my tongue and isn't restored to what it was before. This part of my mouth was also where the major numbness was after the procedure. The numbness did wear off overnight (after the procedure). Also, I can slight bitterness on the right/middle side of tongue. When will my taste be restored?
