What Causes Numbness And Metallic Taste In The Mouth?
I have numbness in my tongue (left side) and a metallic taste in my mouth. My dentist recently found a growth on my throat (left side) which he said was probably nothing to worry about but I should get checked out by an ENT specialist. The growth was there about a year ago but later disappeared. The concerning part is that it s back. It s about 1/2 cm in diameter. Lately also my left ear hurts when I swallow. I can t get an appointment with an ENT for 10 days... Should I be rushing to see another doctor? I m 45 years old, female, 5 2 and 125lb. Overall I have good health. Was a long term smoker who quit 6 month ago.
Read through your query and i suggest you nothing to be worried as of now. I suggest you to do chlorhex mouthwash twice daily. Drinklots of water and stay hydrated and have lots of fruits.
After that try to get an appointmnent from ent after 10 days and show it to ent. Itwill be fine. Staycalm.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Rohit S. Menon
