I had a tube put in my right ear about 2 months ago. i told the doctor at the time that my tongue went numb on that side. it's still numb. why?

Re-contact that Dr: I expect you're not happy w/ that Dr, but they need to know and they should want to evaluate and correct (if possible) any problem the procedure caused. It sounds like nerve(s) in that area were interfered with - hopefully an adjustment will allow recovery. But you have to let them know. If you go to a new Dr, they'll be likely to want to confer and that's okay too. Don't wait to do something.
