A member asked:
The left side of my tongue and throat are tingly, what could this mean?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Multiple reasons: Tingliness may be due to paresthesia (extended anesthesia), nerve damage or pressure on a nerve. This should be investigated by a dentist.

Several causes: It sounds like the nerve for your tongue has been damaged or anesthetized. If you have had recent dental treatment the injection may have damaged the nerve. It also can happen with removal of lower wisdom teeth. Other causes could be a minor stroke, neuritis, or heart problems--see your doctor.
