Complications of Dysgeusia

Dysgeusia alters the sense of taste, which can lead to complications. Some people might lose their taste for healthier foods and opt for bad diet choices because they might be the only palatable options.

People with dysgeusia could lose their appetite because of the bad taste in their mouths. A loss of appetite over a period of time might transition into malnutrition. Ginger tea, water and fruit juices might help remove any bad lingering tastes.
