Hello,
Altered tongue sensation after lower wisdom tooth removal is usually due to lingual nerve sensitivity. Since you noticed some improvement earlier, it suggests the nerve is functioning but irritable, not permanently damaged.
At this stage, treatment focuses on reducing nerve sensitivity rather than supplements alone. Certain neuropathic medications and topical desensitizing measures can help with burning or spicy-food sensitivity.
A detailed clinical nerve assessment is advised to decide the best line of management. Meanwhile, avoid very spicy or hot foods and any local trauma to the area.
