How Can Loss Of Taste Be Treated?
I have been taking a variety of allergy medications for the past 4-5 years now (including Singulair; Flonase though not very regularly; Zyrtec; multiple eye drops. Over the past several months I have lost my taste
senisitivity which has, in turn, resulted in unwanted weight loss. I have discovered via Google search, that the Pazeo eye drops which I started last summer has loss of taste listed in common side effects. I stopped using this as well as the Flonase. What chance is there that my taste bud cells will regenerate or will I never get my taste back?

Hello,
As far as loss of taste is concerned, this can be due to drug induced or due to vitamin deficiency.
For this, I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for clinical examination of tongue and in the meantime you can take multivitamin supplements by consulting with local doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Priyanka Tiwari
