NUMB, BURNING & HEAVY TONGUE
It has been 40 DAYS since my lower left wisdom tooth extraction but my left half of tongue is still numb with burning sensation, and feels heavy and swollen (no visible swelling, though) all the time. The dentist has recommended me to take 'cap neugaba 75 mg' for a week. Can u plz tell me what this medicine is for?
I have also been consuming ' Neurakind plus' for 4 weeks'. What else should I do to get my tongue back to normal?
I am losing patience now. It's very very uncomfortable and annoying, and has made my life a living hell.
WILL MY LEFT TONGUE PORTION BECOME NORMAL EXACTLY LIKE IT WAS BEFORE EXTRACTION- COMPLETELY NORMAL? Please give a genuine answer without giving me any false hopes.
Kindly help. I will be really grateful to you.
Thank you
