Hi Juana,
The condition where there is a disturbance in the taste sensation such as food that suddenly tastes unpleasant is medically known as dysgeusia. This condition itself can vary between individuals, such as food that tastes sour, bitter or smells bad. Here are some things that can cause this condition:
Due to infections such as flu or sinus infection (sinusitis) Inflammation Environmental factors Due to side effects of drugs, especially chemotherapy drugs etc. In this regard, you should discuss this with the doctor who treats you to get further treatment regarding your complaint. The follow-up examination that can be recommended by the doctor is a physical examination of the ear nose and throat, gastrointestinal binoculars or abdominal ultrasound.
Take treatment as recommended by your doctor and consult any complaints that you experience during treatment so that the doctor can provide treatment according to your condition and needs.
Here are suggestions for you:
Take care of your general oral hygiene Avoid foods and drinks that irritate the gastrointestinal tract Avoid foods that have a strong odor Eat regularly Manage stress wisely Reduce / stop smoking immediately see a doctor if complaints persist or worsen Hope this helps,
