Tongue Numb?

Hi,

First of all, I want to thank you for asking questions on HealthReplies.com. I will try to help answer your question,

The tongue is one of the organs of the body that has a function to taste. Of which there are several causes that can cause damage to this sense of taste, namely,

1.

2.     Smoking

3.    Inflammation of the gums

4.     Poor quality hygiene

5.     Lack of nutrients such as vitamin b 12 or zinc

6.    Diabetes disease

7.     Autoimmune diseases such as Sjogren's syndrome which causes dry mouth although this is rare

Because there are so many causes that can cause the complaints you are experiencing, you should immediately consult a doctor so that appropriate treatment can be given. The doctor will usually conduct an interview with the complaint, physical examination and supporting examinations such as a complete blood test before giving treatment.

Here are rips for you,

1.     Avoid smoking

2.     Avoid alcohol

3.     Keep your mouth clean, brush your teeth at least 2 times a day

4.     Avoid eating overly stimulating foods such as too hot or spicy
