Numb/Burned Tongue

So I've been using Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Night (cetylpyridinium chloride 0.07%)  mouthwash with Crest Pro-Health Night toothpaste for a week now and I've lost all taste/sensation in the tip of my tongue. I'm also experiencing dryness and slight tongue swelling. This exact same thing happened when I used Peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate 0.12%) oral rinse after my wisdom tooth removal. Both burned the same areas of the mouth during and after rinsing.


For now I'm going to discontinue the use of just the mouthwash and wait for improvement...or gargle with it and hope it kills my gag reflex. Either way.
