Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Numbness inside the mouth and on tongue can be due to either Allergic reaction or metal toxicity..

It can also be due to nerve related disorders or condition like Transient Ischemic Attack..

Consult an Oral Physician or a General Physician and get evaluated..

Treatment will depend on the diagnosis..

As of now he should avoid drinking with the metal cup and also do alternate warm and cool water rinses..
Take Vitamin B complex supplements daily..

Hope your query is resolved..

Regards..
