hellooo....read thru ur query...i can say that numbness can occur in tongue and lips if ur having any infected tooth in the side of numbness....so please check for that...if any tooth is paining or have got big hole with no pain all can cause infection ...these can be cause in numbness as far as dental concerned...so its better to go to dentist and check for the oral cavity and see for xrays....bcoz rest can be said based on clinical aspects....hope u got the reply...have a nice day!!!
