What Could Numbness In Tongue With Cramps Suggest?
underneath the tip of my tongue to the left side it keeps going numb, only a small area for about 5 seconds sort of feels like a painless cramp its been happening for about 4 days but its getting more frequent than when it first started. My tongue doesn't look any different, any ideas on to what it could be?

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
Numbness could be due to damage to nerve fibrils.It could be a transient phase.Therfore wait and watch for two weeks.If you find the symptoms do not improve then please visit an oral pathologist.
Please start with vitamin B complex for fifteen days.Simultaneously do warm
saline rinses to treat any kind of developing infection.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.
Take care.
