Hi,
Following allergic reaction, taste sensation may change due to certain chemical substances released during the process.
Gradually, taste sensation would come back to normal. However, in the meantime, you can overcome change in taste sensation by doing the following:
1. Do salt water gargling with warm water thrice daily.
2. Gargle with mouth wash solution with Chlorhexidine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
