Post-stroke syndrome from facial paralysis can lead to tongue numbness, but the numbness is not related to the paralysis.

Lately, my child has been complaining about an itchy tongue. Until last night, the child woke up several times throughout the night, crying upon waking, saying their tongue hurts and it feels itchy. What could be causing this tingling and itching sensation in the tongue? Considering the described situation, it is possible there is inflammation in the tongue area. It is advised to reduce the intake of spicy and stimulating foods and increase the consumption of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C. Pay attention to rest, avoid staying up late, and maintain good oral hygiene. Also, consider whether there might be poor blood circulation. It is recommended to have a detailed examination at a hospital to see if there are any other issues present. Then, follow the doctor’s advice.
