Bot Unfortunately, there is no known cure for the taste changes associated with the coronavirus. However, there are some things you can do to help manage the symptoms.
1. Drink plenty of fluids. Staying hydrated can help reduce the dryness in your mouth and throat.
2. Avoid spicy, acidic, and salty foods. These can irritate your taste buds and make the taste changes worse.
3. Try sucking on sugar-free hard candy or chewing sugar-free gum. This can help stimulate saliva production and reduce dryness.
4. Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol. These can both irritate your taste buds and make the taste changes worse.
5. Talk to your doctor about medications that may help. Some medications, such as zinc supplements, can help reduce the taste changes associated with the coronavirus.
