Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The numbness over the tongue can be because of the pressure over the nerve by any cyst/tumor or by a wisdom tooth. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a nerve regenerating drugs like vitamin B6 and B12.
If there is any cyst or tumor or a wisdom tooth then these has to be surgically removed.
I hope I have answered your query. Take care
