Hello,

Thank you for asking your query at DoctorSpring.

I have discussed your concern with our team Neurologist. This is not a vitamin deficiency/ infection/ or neurological process.

I would like to know some additional information so that I can help you better and offer a more learned opinion.

1. Do you have tingling sensation /numbness anywhere else in the body - arms or legs ?

2. Are you on any kind of medications ?

3. Is there any deviation of tongue ?

4. Do you find any difficulty in swallowing / speech ?

5. Do you have any regurgitation of food ?

6. Is the tingling more specific and pronounced in any side of the tongue ?

You can reply as a followup
Thank you

Hello,

Thank you for additional details.

You have tingling on both sides. This simply denotes that there are exposed nerve endings on the tongue surface. Tongue has a rich nerve supply. This could be due to irritant foods (causing allergy) or minor viral infections. This does not denote anything serious.

To be honest this finding is bit non-specific (means it is not possible to reach a single diagnosis ) . However you are negative for any danger signs. So with some non irritant, non spicy diet this should resolve itsown.

Avoid mouth washes also for 1 month.
Vitamin supplements has not shown any benefit. However there is no harm in taking a B complex supplement. If you smoke, its SHOULD be avoided.

Further evaluation is needed in form Nerve conduction study only if it is prolonged for more than 1 month.

Thank you
Feel free to ask follow-ups
