What Causes Tastelessness In Tongue?
My tongue feels funny and it kind of sensitive. Nothing tastes right. Sometimes things seem saltier that usual. Sometimes things taste tinny. Just sometimes nothing tastes good. Fruit seems to taste normal. No new meds and nothing more than the usual sinus stuff. Is there any other cause for this?

Read your query as you feel tasteleaness in tongue dont worry what happened is papillae present on tongue are for taste sensation this tastelesnes can be due to depapillation it can be due to nutritional deficiency , drug induced , can be related to gastroentesrinal also
I will suggest you to take vitamin B 12 supplement , and take nutritious diet , consult oral surgeon if symptoms persists for examination of tongue .
