Dysgeusia

Dysgeusia is a disorder characterized by a distorted sense of taste. It often presents as a metallic, sour, or bitter taste in the mouth, but can also include other strange tastes. The disorder usually develops gradually, starting with a slight change in taste and gradually worsening over time. Symptoms can include a decreased ability to distinguish between sweet, salty, and sour tastes, as well as an increased sensitivity to certain tastes. Dysgeusia can also be accompanied by other symptoms such as a dry mouth, bad breath, and a decreased appetite.
