TONGUE NUMB POST EXTRACTION

2017-10-14 18:05:59
It has been 35 days since lower left wisdom tooth extraction but my left half of tongue is still numb with lot of burning sensation. A dentist has recommended me to take 'Cap Neugaba 75 mg' for a week. Can u plz tell me what this medicine is for? And what should I do to get my tongue back to normal? I am losing my patience now. It's really irritating and has made my life a living hell.
