Hello,

Tingling sensation and electric shock-like sensation of the tongue tip can be due to causes like tongue inflammation. It can also be due to a nerve related problem. In case if there is no redness or inflammation of the tongue. So my suggestion is to consult an oral physician and get evaluated. A clinical examination and investigation like MRI scan can help in ruling out the exact cause and treatment can be done accordingly. For now, take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Advil and take a vitamin B complex.



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
