Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have burning sensation on tongue, metallic taste in mouth, numb lips dont worry it can be due to Glossitis or depapillation of papillae , may be due to nutritional deficiency ,

You can take One Capsule Vitamin B6 , B12 supplements twice daily for one week

Do chlorhexidine mouthwash twice daily

Maintain proper oral hygiene by regular brushing and using tongue cleaner

If you wont get relief then consult dentist for oral examination and Oral prophylaxis if necessary then go for investigations,

Hope this will help you.
Wishing you good health.
