Brief Answer: Please get the following tests done from a lab. Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for choosing wwwhealthcaremagic.com It could be due to dryness of tongue or vitamin B12 deficiency. I suggest to check vitamin d3, serum Vitamin B6 AND B12 levels from a good lab. Lemictal can cause folic acid deficiency so finding level of folic acid is also good idea. You can contact after you have got these tests done. DR SAATIISH JHUNTRRAA
