Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Bad taste after prolged hospitalization can occur.
It is mostly related to acid reflux, antibiotic use and nutritional deficiency.

I would suggest To take omeprazole as this will reduce the reflux. And take vitamin b and zinc supplements as these will help you with the bad taste.

Hope this helps
