numbness in mouth
I have been experiencing tingling and numbness (almost like I have had a dentists injection) on the walls and roof of my mouth, tongue and gums. This is the fourth day that I have the same thing. Food also tastes too salty (even sweet stuff), my mouth is parched and there is a white film on my tongue.
