Have any treatments been developed for pos-covid numb lips?

Posted by webtypo @webtypo, Nov 17, 2023

I’ve had covid 3 times, and after the 2nd time, I ended up with numb tingly lips both my upper and lower lips have areas that are numb and/or tingly. It rates as annoying in comparison to the body aches I still have and the full body muscle twitching that happens anytime I start to relax as I fall asleep…. My main question though is whether or not anyone is aware of research or treatments developed to treat numb/tingly lips caused by covid? Just looking for info that I can take to my doc and see what his thoughts are.

Have had LC for 8 months..developed sensation in inner lips, tip of tongue, and top of mouth about a month ago.
Dont know if it’s due to high BP meds. So am going off them for a while. Or its from long covid?

I have been diagnosed with post covid syndrome. I have multiple symptoms, including partially numb tongue and an odd sensation on my lips that taste bitter at times. I have tried to find all info about anything to treat this. I haven’t found much. I’m being evaluated for a coupe other disorders, but it seems like LC, based on what I’ve been reading. I have muscle issues and twitching too.

I have had numb upper and lower lips off and on since my second case of Covid. It first happened during the virus, went away and now reappears for no reason I can think of. I am drooling out of the left side of my mouth and not realizing it. I also awaken during the night with horrible dry throat and chapped lips which could be now worse sleep apnea.
Does anyone know of a doctor who would treat long covid in southeastern Michigan?

My teen son has been struggling with numb lips and gums post covid. The doctors make him feel like he is crazy. He is so discouraged and anxious about it…afraid it will never end. Any perspective in this would be appreciated!

Any luck on finding treatment for numb lips? My teen son has had this for three years after Covid. He is so very distraught. Thank you.

My teen son has been struggling with numb lips and gums for three years post covid. He is so overwhelmed with it as it is constant…every day all day. Definitely disrupting his life. Hard for him to function sometimes. Hoping for some answers as he is in his senior year and wants to be able to move forward with his life. Thank you all!

I understand how disturbing something like that can be. I’ve had the constant bitter taste for over a year. Has your son been evaluated by a neurologist? Has he had his B12 levels checked? Does he have changed smell or taste?

Yes to a neurologist and B12 levels checked. His taste and smell are fine.
