Loss of sensation of tongue, lips, side of the jaw is a complication of a lower wisdom tooth extraction since sometimes the nerve surrounding the tooth is in close approximation. Hence, post surgery any of the anatomical structures getting nerve supply from that nerve can lose sensation.
Next Steps
Take Neurobion Forte (Multivitamin) once daily for atleast a few months.
Since the procedure is done 6 months back, i would advise you to get a CBCT done to evaluate the damage and then reach out to a neurophysician.
Health Tips
Avoid eating from that side, you might injure your tongue.

Its very unfortunate that u have this problem since last 6 months,but wisdom tooth removal is rarely associated with these kind of complications, I am sure that ur Dr.might have given u the course of Tab.Neurobion Forte but I am afraid that some people has this nerve damage for permanent (at least years) ,
Health Tips
Visit ur Neurophysician as a next option
