Hello dear

Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
Thanks for approaching Ask a Doctor section.

* As per the narration and my clinical experience co relation, the
current condition is due to underlying residual infection affecting
taste buds and general well being.

* Additional guidelines to cure early

- Prefer more liquids as you can.

well soon.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Probably a stomach problem might be. Please discuss with your doctor to do a chest X Ray and then an abdominal ultrasound for probably further follow up.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
