My father (60y) lost hos taste for 2 years now. We hope you can advise....dont know who to ask anymore


Posted by Mustafa

My father of 60y had a heart attack years ago. He is taking medication for this. Some 2y ago he got some medication for stress and lost his taste in his mouth. He can smell but no taste of nothing.

He stopped the medication after 3 weeks but still, after 2 years, has no taste in his mouth.

After so many hospital visits and many medication, he still doesnt has his taste back. We are hoping for a miracle.

we hope you can help us with our big problem. He is loosing weight and getting depressed. We really dont know what to do anymore.

 Please help

Mustafa

Have you tried spicing up your father's food a bit? You can ask the doctor about taking (liquid) zinc and Vit B12 supplements.
