Horrible taste in mouth

Anyone else? I’m on day 5 now and for the past few days have had a constant horrible taste in my mouth. No amount of teeth brushing/mouthwash/chewing gum makes it go away. I think I can still taste food normally so it’s not that, but it’s making me feel a bit sick really.

You've not developed something like oral thrush?

No I don’t think so, just a horrible sort of metallic taste all the time!

I had a bitter taste in my mouth. Even ice cubes tasted bitter

I had a salty taste coming from the back of my throat during covid. 4 months on and i still occasionally get a mouthful of it. Also one of my first symptoms was swollen tonsils and I still have days when my tonsils randomly swell up. Weird.

Not a horrible taste but my mouth is really dry

Hi yes yesterday i felt like i sprayed perfume in my mouth by accident. It was horrible.

I tested positive on a LFT this morning and have been noticing a blood like taste. Copper Metallic like all day.

I hadnt heard of anyone else having it and I can taste everything normally.

So many things. I had insanely dry mouth and was really really thirsty. No matter how much I drank.

I thought my taste was fine but as other symptoms have waned my taste has gone a bit awol. I can still taste everything, but the flavours are dull/weak. And all kinds of things just taste incredibley salty while other things taste very peppery (even when they are usually neither for example plain grilled chicken breast)

I haven’t had a nasty taste permanently in my mouth but I can well imagine it with the tricks my brain has been play on me.

I wish I could suggest a solution for you as it sounds awful.

This is me! Tastes like off milk or like and breath. I've also lost some taste/isnT as strong. And have mouth ulcers, dry mouth and a sore tongue.

No other symptoms so far!
