Hi
welcome to HealthcareMagic and thanks for putting up the query,

You are probably having glossitis.

Please let me know what all medicines are you taking apart from Mucinex as taste alteration can be due to medicines.

Also, send me the pictures of your throat and tongue so that I can suggest you better. You can simply upload/attach them at the reports section of this webpage.

Please follow up with the details.

Thanks and regards
