Does Using Budenase Nasal Rinse Cause An Altered Sense Of Taste?

I am using budesonide capsules in a saline solution as a nasal rinse. Can a weird taste be a side effect? And an irritated throat. Not sore but sometimes irritated. I sometimes have a cough but not alwAys. Also when I blow my nose it is sometimes blood tinged. Is that normal? Thanks, Lynne O’Steen. YYYY@YYYY

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Budesnide capsule is a steroid drug and using it as a rinse can cause metallic or altered taste in mouth..

Irritated or sore throat can be due to throat infection, post nasal drip, acid reflux etc..
So my suggestion is to consult an Emergency room or a Physician and get evaluated..

Saline nasal rinse can be used without the budesonide capsule.

You can be advised alternate drugs but for now you should do steam inhalation and saline nasal irrigation..
You can clean your tongue using a tongue cleaner as it will help in reducing altered taste..
You should also do warm saline gargles.
Use a tongue scraper to clean your tongue..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
