First and foremost, we truly understand your concerns regarding the symptoms you’re facing now. However, I’m not really clear of the question you wanted to ask.

Nevertheless, from your complaints, we believe that your condition may have multifactorial causes such as:

  • Head trauma

  • Heavy smoking

  • Dehydration

  • Radiation therapy to the neck or head area

  • Burns to the tongue that damage the taste buds

  • Medication such as antidepressants

The following answers regarding your current queries are just general descriptions due to the limited information provided by you. In order for us to provide you with an accurate diagnosis and next suitable treatment and management, we need additional details to explore further into your current complaints.
