Hi,
The symptoms you are describing might be caused by a condition known as dysgeusia, which is a distortion or alteration of the sense of taste. Headaches, particularly in the forehead, can also cause changes in taste perception. These symptoms may sometimes indicate a sinus infection or other underlying health issues. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
