Hi,
How are you? Numbness in the tongue can occur due damage to the nerves supplying that area, interrupted blood circulation, pernicious anemia, vitamin B deficiency etc.
Do you have accompanying symptoms like dizziness, light headedness, nausea, weakness in hands and legs, headache etc? What is your age? Do you have any other medical conditions for which you are undergoing treatment presently?
All this information along with physical examination and some work up is required to make diagnosis. Complete blood picture, lipid profile and CTscan of brain can help making diagnosis.
I would suggest that you visit a neurologist and discuss the above mentioned options and follow his advise.
Best.
