If your tongue is crooked and saliva production is noticeably lower on one side, you may have something pushing on the main nerve on one side of the tongue at the base.

Don't wait, schedule a visit to your ENT as soon as possible. Could be an issue at the base of your tongue. Hard to spot and usually found only with scans.

Good Luck (Don't wait for this to resolve itself.)
