How Do You Stop Dysgeusia

Taste Sensation Sometimes, good oral hygiene, including flossing, brushing, and regular use of mouthwash, can alleviate the effects. In fact, if overgrowth of oral bacteria is the cause of your dysgeusia, taking care of your oral health can permanently resolve the problem.

What should I eat if I have dysgeusia?

Go sour. Marinate meats in vinegar, soy sauce or citrus juices, as sour foods stimulate the taste buds and saliva production. Other ideas: Add lemons to water, drink lemon or lime seltzer and lemonade, or suck on citrus drops.

What drugs cause dysgeusia?

Medications known to impair the sense of taste are numerous and include lithium (antidepressant), griseofulvin (antifungal), captopril (angiotensin-converting enzyme [ACE] inhibitor), biguanides (antidiabetic agent), tetracycline (antibiotic), and chemotherapy regimens.
