What Causes Numbness On The Left Side Of The Tongue?
4 days ago the left side of my face won t work. I can t pucker up or whistle. My left side of my tongue is also numb and has lost the ability to taste. I don t have medical insurance and am scared to go to the doctor or emergency room as I have no way to pay them. Will this go away?

As i am understanding your problem, it seems to be a facial palsy. It is hard to say weather it will go away on its own or not. You shoud start methylprednisolone 16 mg tab daily for 2-3 weeks and if you feel improved you and start tapering the dose. Keep in touch for complete therapy
