Hi Mam
Thanks for your reply. The medicines that were given by most ENT were methycobalamin
Just want to know the disease that u informed is curable in how much time and is it the life threatening "C" Disease.
I do not have any ulceration in these areas, no white
patches and I do not have any problem in eating anything spicy or hot.
Why I am asking this because I had a back history of tobacco chewing and smoking.
While tobacco chewing has been completely stopped from last one year smoking once or twice in entire month is still there but it has been reduced to almost 95% as earlier it was 3-5 cigarettes daily.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the information and the follow up query.
Paraesthesias are usually without any organic lesion but it should be once investigated to rule out any organic lesion involving the nerves for which a MRI should be done. Once it is confirmed that there is no any such lesion, nothing is to be done. Methylcobal is vitamin b12. You can take it of and on. You should rather take a combination of gabapentin and pregabalin. You should consult a doctor as you need a prescription for these medicines.
Physiotherapy can also help.
You should quit smoking.
The disease is curable or not can be said only after completely investigated.
Any further questions are always welcome.
