Are you still having dysgeusia? I just started taking a medicine yesterday that's giving it to me. I read that zinc supplements can help. Have you found anything helpful?

@dillyd I am!! It's so annoying. I've been drinking lots and lots of water which helps a little (it dilutes the taste).
I didn't check for supplements, I'll look into that today! I think I saw no sugar gum being recommended too.. when it's too bad I take a mint

I'm sucking on hard candies, and I hate hard candy, but it's better than the taste. I only have to take this medicine for five days. I'm really feeling bad for you, hoping it gets better with time.

@dillyd Thank you 💜 It's been about 5 days now, so I know how annoying it can be, even for a short amount of time!
I'm really hoping it'll calm down soon.. I'm also worried about mouth ulcers, it seems like it might be happening (just feels weird right now, but I'm being more paranoid right now lol)

I bought some zinc, hoping it helps. Also I looked up how to pronounce dysgeusia, and it's cracking me up because it's a perfect word for what it means. So I was walking around saying it out loud, and then it started coming out to the tune of Sussudio. Dys-dys-geusia! 🎶
