What Causes An Altered Sense Of Taste After Receiving Local Anesthesia?
I had local IV anesthesia of versed, Vicodin, and Phentermine. Now my taste buds are all screwed up. I have had local sedation many times before, but this the 1st time it has affected my taste before. Can you help me understand and what I should do.
