What Causes Unusual Sense Of Taste In The Frontal Area Of The Tongue?

For nearly a year I have suffered a terrible taste along the front edge of my tongue. I have had my teeth checked, seen an ent, who suggested drinking lots of water and sucking on sour lemon drops, I have seen an Otalaryngologist who stretched one of the saliva glands (he said it was restricted)but he also told me this procedure would not help my problem. I have stopped taking all meds except losartin 100mg for bp and hydroxyzine for hives and anxiety. Nothing has changed, if anything at times it is worse then ever

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain bad taste in mouth with a history of taking a number of medicines seems to be due to side effects of medicines only..
It might also be causing some level of dryness in mouth which further causes bad taste..
I would suggest you to consult your physician and get evaluated and if possible reducing the doses of medicines can help in improving taste..
As of now chew flavored sugar free chewing gum..
Gargle with flavored antiseptic mouthwash..
Drink plenty of water..
Maintain a good Oral hygiene..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
