Does amoxicillin have a taste?

Yes: Yes, but it depends upon which brand is being used.Usually not bad one, with 'bubble gum' flavor being common in my area.

Can dysgeusia occur AFTER taking amoxicillin? Back in October, I had to take amoxicillin before getting the root canal done. Ever since the procedure I've had altered taste and smell (not COVID related). Asked many dentists and they didn't help?
