What Home Remedies Can Cure Tasteless Tongue?
Hi, I suddenly developed a very tasteless tongue about 2 days ago after I had grapefruit. I see tiny pink spots on my tongue and they burn when I use listerine. Is there a quick home remedy I can use. I do not feel ill and have not been on any anti-biotics lately.

Hi,
thanks for writing in. this has happened cause of damage to taste buds due to the acidic grape fruit. avoid any hot drinks , sour food or spicy food. you could apply a local anaesthetic mouth gel with the advise of a doctor if its intolerable.
the taste buds regenerate quickly in 2-3 days. you can have bland food till then.
hope this helps.
