Numb Tongue: You are young for this problem. What are you taking the Ibuprofen for? I would see your dentist to rule out any oral problems first. Then see your physician to look into neurological concerns.

See below: There are many causes of tongue numbness. In the medical field, the condition is called paresthesia of the tongue, and it is most commonly caused by nerve damage. Damage to the brain, allergies, and pregnancy may also lead to numbness or tingling in the tongue. Multiple sclerosis and burning mouth syndrome can also cause paresthesia. You need to consult with a doctor.
