Lose of taste
My sense of taste has been negligible for the past few weeks. I can only tell if it's hot or cold or spicy. And lately my mouth is getting very dry even tho I drink at least 2.4L of water every day. I brush twice a day as well. Altho sometimes I eat before brushing my teeth in the morning.
