Suggest Remedy For Tingling And Numbness Of Tongue

This may not be a medical question - my son just moved in to a new apartment, and he says drinking the tap water makes his tongue tingle and start getting numb. He's wondering if the water is "over softened," and if that's a health problem if it is. Anything I can tell him to make him feel better?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Actually tingling of tongue can not be just because of drinking water, it can be possible that there must be an infected tooth from which the infection is spreading to the nerve of tongue, so better that your son should visit a good dentist once and it examined.
Hope it will help you.
