What Could Cause Numbness In Tongue ?
My 9 year old son has had 4 instances of his tongue going numb in the past 4 years. Today, his tongue went numb and he was dizzy. We're not sure if he was dizzy from hyperventilating since he was breathing fast or if this was part of his tongue going numb. He can hear and understand us and this only lasts for seconds and has only happened in the morning prior to eating. Ant ideas?
