What is the reason for a tingling and itchy tongue?

Patient's question:

For the past few days, it has been constantly itchy and numb, and my friends say it's due to internal heat. These days, I've been feeling really uncomfortable and haven't been eating much. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Numbness of the tongue is often related to slow blood flow, increased blood viscosity, changes in microcirculation, insufficient local blood supply, or insufficient blood supply to the brain. It is recommended to check whether blood lipids, blood sugar, and blood pressure are elevated, as well as whether blood viscosity is increased. It is advisable to have a check-up.
In daily life, pay attention to drinking more water and supplementing with vitamins B1, B6, and C, which can help lower blood viscosity and improve microcirculation, thereby alleviating numbness. Rest more and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
