Question 1

bell's palsey and tongue numbness on same side. when will it go away?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Most patients with Bell's Palsy have complete recovery, however this is affected by a number of things, such as: 1) younger age 2) milder symptoms at onset 3) early resolution of symptoms (&lt;2 weeks) 4) early treatment with steroid with or without antivirals. Most start to have improvement within 3 weeks, however symptoms may remain up to 1 yr before improving. Few have lifelong symptoms.

Question 2

Question 4

i have an injury on the right side of my tongue which is causing partial numbness on same right side of yhe tongue, can it heal on its own or nerepair?

Accepted Answer

Tongue injury: You did not tell us how long ago this occurred. Most wounds of this nature will heal on their own with time. Keep it clean with salt water rinses. It is always better to consult with a professional, in this case a dentist, to ensure that nothing else needs to be done.

Question 6

random tingling in tongue? kinda like its numb.. it happens every now and then and usually its in the back of the tongue or the left side.. it happens for a few seconds and goes away. one time it last like 30-45 minutes what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Tumbness: The tongue is supplied by the 5th and 12th cranial nerves.  The nerves come from the ear or atleast travel close to it. The area has muscles, stylohyoid, and structure like the parotid gland. Some type of process pressing on nerve could be a facor. Some type of ischemic issue such as  TIA possible, but your are young for that.

Question 7

left side numb left side of mouth and tongue numb?

Accepted Answer

Spontaneously ?: Left side of your body? Just your face? Is this after a dental procedure or an extraction? Have you seen a dentist? You need to be evaluated immediately by a dentist for an infection if it is just your mouth and tongue, and immediatelt by an er physician if your body is numb.

Question 8

please help! what is that cream that numbs your tongue/mouth for a little?

Accepted Answer

Benzocaine: There is a host of topical anesthetics for oral numbing. Orajel is a popular one but there are many others. Go to you your  local pharmacy or supermarket and see what is available. What are you using it for and do you need to see a dentist?

Question 9

little tiny numb spot at end of tongue, what is this?

Accepted Answer

Tiny spot: I could give you the answer if i could see it, but since i can't you will have to see your own dentist to find out what it is and whether or not anything has to be done.

Question 10
