What Does Tingling Sensation And Numbness On The Tongue Indicate?

Hi. Am having symptoms of bronchitis, with white mucus production. This is now accompanied by tongue tingling and/or numbness when I bring up mucus. My question is whether this indicates a bacterial infection and needs antibiotics, or a viral one, which I can just ride out. Am using albuterol inhaler 80 mcg q. 4-6 h, and QVAR 80 mcg bid. Am on day two of bronchitis, which started as a cold.

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

If the numbness is only at the time of mucous production then it can be most probably due to Infection..

But if the numbness is.persistent and does not improve then it can be due to other causes..

However medication side effect can be a cause..

But if the numbness continue to worsen then you should immediately consult an Emergency Room and get evaluated..

For now start taking Vitamin B complex supplement along with other medications..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
